Holland Landing has similar dropoffs at each end and is a thousand feet shorter. Landing 08 you want to touch down in the first couple hundred feet which is level. The descent rate of the remaining runway may be comparable to the descent rate of the aircraft if a little fast

A steep approach to 26 keeps you above the curl over. Departing 26 the terrain climbs after crossing Hwy 11.

If you are planning a long flight to a short runway, the full gross approach speed will give you a long float. Yes, I once touched 2/3 the way down a 3700' runway in a Tiger
