Gustaf III Airport

Gustaf III Airport[2] (IATA: SBH[2], ICAO: TFFJ[1]), also known as Saint Barthélemy Airport or St. Jean Airport (French: Aérodrome de St Jean[1]), is a public use airport located in the village of St. Jean on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthélemy. Both the airport and the island's main town of Gustavia are named for King Gustav III of Sweden, under whom Sweden obtained the island from France in 1785 (it was sold back to France in 1878).

In 1984, swedish Minister of Communications, Hans Gustafsson, inaugurated the terminal building of the Gustaf III Airport.

Local St. Barthians check the comings and goings of the island from 8:00 in the morning till darkness at 18:00, when the airport closes. St. Barthians are divided on the issue of lighting at the airport for emergency purposes. There is a risk then that the traffic to the island would increase.

The airport is served by small regional commercial aircraft and charters. Most visiting aircraft carry fewer than twenty passengers, such as the Twin Otter, a common sight around Saint Barth and throughout the northern West Indies. The short airstrip is at the base of a gentle slope ending directly on the beach. The arrival descent is extremely steep over the hilltop traffic circle and departing planes fly right over the heads of sunbathers (although small signs advise sunbathers not to lie directly at the end of the runway). The airport is located in the island's second-largest town, St. Jean.

The History Channel program Most Extreme Airports, ranks Gustaf III airport, which is casually referred to as "St. Barth's", as the 3rd most dangerous airport in the world.

Incidents and accidents

A Piper PA-23 Aztec attempted the tricky Runway 10 landing on May 23, 2009, eventually touching down 700 feet from the departure end of the runway. Amateur video of the crash sequence shows the plane approaching higher and faster than usual before making the dive for the runway. The plane gained more speed on descent and was caught in ground effect; resultingly, the pilot fought the plane onto the runway, then locked its brakes to stop. Instead, the plane continued into sand, its nosegear dug in and nearly flipped over. Nobody aboard was injured.

Ugled i reputacija aerdroma Princeza Julijana kao najludjeg na celom svetu je definitivno uzdrmana.

Tesko je reci sta je teze i strasnije.Preleteti 747icom tek par metara iznad glava i ograde,ili Cesnom svega metar iznad drveta. 

Razlika samo u broju ukoliko se pilot shebe 
Na onom ostrvu kad cesna slece ono desetmetara odstojanje od onih auta na kruznom toku pre aerodroma 
Tu je sve propisano, brzina propadanja, ugao, obrtaji i kocenje, nema tu mesta za milimetar greske

Аеродром Lukla у Непалу

Bem ti ko ih postavi tu gde ih postavi .... 

kad nema gde drugo da se postave

ni hongkonski aerodrom nije nista manje zanimljiv za sletanje.

Бивши, који је био усред града, онда су га померили на вештачко острво.

Oni na St. Bartu mogu pistu da produze u more, samo treba da pljunu malo kinte od turisticke zarade, kao i oni gde 747 slece na sam pocetak piste da bi uopste uspeo da zakoci. Lukla stvarno nema gde da se prosiri, s jedne strane ponor (kada se prilazi) a na drugoj strani litica; pri tome je na velikoj nadmorskoj visini pa se slece sa relativno velikom brzinom. To je samo za avione sa mogucnoscu kocenja propelerima i sa jakim motorima da bi uopste poleteli odatle. Ne moze svaka tica tamo.

Mislis, inverznim mlazom na turbini. Propeler menja samo ugao ali ne znam dal radi rikverc da bi dao negativni potisak 

Sad si me zbunio - ni ja ne znam kako to stvarno radi - bio sam uveren da on promeni (zarotira svaki krak elise oko svoje ose) tako da us stvari tera vazduh u obrnutom pravcu; no mozda sam u zabludi. U pragu sam gledao ATR-ove koji ladno startaju u rikverc kad se isparkiravaju, bukvalno poput automobila. Morao bih to da rascistim da nemam dileme kako stvarno funkcionise. Valjda ce neko ovde do tada setiti se da nam pomogne.
