Or, you might want to avoid Princess Juliana airport (TNCM) at St. Martin/St.Maartin as it’s a real challenge too. Of course, I know I just attracted every masochist within a 6000 kilometer radius to give that airport a try. Hint: It’s not rated for an Airbus A380.
On one side is the wide-open Carribian Sea less than 50 yards from the end of the runway and it’s right next to a popular beach.
On the other side is a mountain range - the normal pattern is a hard-right turn at 1000’ or so AGL to prevent from ruining your plane. While there on vacation years ago, it was a heart-stopping experience watching gigantic planes make turns like fighter-jets to keep from smashing into that mountain-side.
To guarantee enough runway for a successful takeoff, most planes back up until their main gear just about touches the fence separating the airport from the road running right behind it. (There’s even a big sign on both sides of the road warning cars of that fact.) They then “firewall” the throttle, hold the brakes until the thrust maxes out, (and the wheels start to drag), and then shoot off like a rocket!
There are loads of videos on YouTube showing bathers on the beach behind the runway getting blown into the water by the jet blast of some bigger airliners.
