Reply to @david: I feel like the pilots going into St Barts enjoy the challenge. That hill being on approach due to prevailing winds seems utterly wild, but the frequency of incidents here is lower than many other more "conventional" airfields.
This airport, with its 2,119 ft runway, gets attention as one of the world's (so-called) most dangerous airports, but that's a bit nonsensical. It's more a matter of what plane you're choosing to land there.
A Twin Otter or even DC-3 could handle it without breaking a sweat, and probably leave a lot of the runway unused; a 747 would shoot off the end at full speed and end up as a smoking wreck.
In between those extremes, it's a matter of how close you want to cut it to your plane's maximum performance, as with any airplane and runway.
