Why so? windsheer experience from the place both rwys.......on the ILS app you can get some very sporty, theres a massive dip in terrain before the threshold re shearand the circle to land is not what you want to be doing in an emergency. I know of a guy that got Alpha Floor doing a circle to land on the break off for a down wind there due to the viciousness of the winds.......likewise the rwy is very undullating.....granted it's long. I'd prefer maybe Split as an Alt. Venice even better but they must have had big probs to dive into DBV.

Thats my reading of the place.....horses for courses as the saying goes.
