Underneath,
Yes, correct, when the end of the runway is the river there are no other options. Therefore the 'intent' was a good safe choice, well done pilot, (probably had no other options)

In the MoCA test ..., yes you all know what that is.... one of the questions is 'What day and date is it.?'

Approaches are difficult! [email protected]?subject...-size:%2020px;
Do not attempt if inexperienced or unsure.
Main grass airstrip, 600 meters long,
Altitude 15' above sea level
Runway direction 13 / 31
Windsock at 300 meters on river side close to hangar
Please fly neighborly
RWY 31
Follow river and use curved approach for finals.
This avoids houses and trees opposite.
RWY 13
Follow contours of hills opposite and turn over caravan park to line up
