Skilled pilot lands 757 in small Honduras airport
Lot of reasons to hate that approach plate---unstabilized and requires a lot of pilot skill...and then, if the pilot isn't skilled, stuff goes wrong.
Hong Kong's old Kai Tak---same thing.
The temptation is always to NOT stuff it into the ground on approach which overshoots touchdown---and then you're running down off the end of the runway...egads.
Nice apartments for cheap...what's the catch?
All I could hear in my mind's ear was the theme to the original Hawaii Five-O playing in the background...That great jet approach shot that they used to use in the opening credits...
Also, for anyone with a jet-landing-close-to-apt-buildings fetish, try searching YouTube for Kai Tak Hong Kong Airport---the old HK airport...

747 Crosswind Landing at Hong Kong's "Kai Tak" Airport
I'm no means an expert but I used to live there in the 80s and 90s as my dad flew for Cathay Pacific and I've only ever heard of the one 'Checkerboard' approach. Flying the jump-seat into Kai Tak was a magical experience as a kid.
Landing at HK is never easy... and yes, only the most experienced should be allowed to fly in and land there. The way the runway was aligned along with the distance from the airport to the main city... it's mind-boggling for me. But of course, this probably can pale in comparison to other insane airports out there.
Maybe someone out there knows it... but I'm wondering about this: for landing there, is there any flight path that takes you straight in, rather than turning almost 180 on the approach?
