ah, ok, that makes sense, although I was thinking some kind of elevation of the terrain drop off at the east end might be a possibility.
*edit* actually, extending 09/27 to 600m and making the whole length a hard surface would still help with one of the problems facing the Twin Otters, which is the times they cant use the other runway due to crosswinds (but then, they probably wouldn't need 600m).
