I'm happy with obsticles and short runways, at Omaka the hills in proximity to the end of 12 and 19 tends to freak out some pilots.
The approach to 30 and 01 needs to made over a ride, some pilots get in trouble as they are either too high or get to close to the runway and have a short base leg. one poor cessna pilot doing his flight test failed as he just kept going around (we were in the office just willing the guy to stick it on the ground, apprenty he'd done fine on the rest of the test)

25 and 07 at Omaka is 690, happliy landed an Archer there, although there is a distracting tree on the approach to 25.

Its the Vineyards that i don't like... an engine failure here would not be pleasent below 500ft.

I love the look of the raglan strip, its only 45 meters shorter than 25/07... only...
