Cessna 172 Landing in Saba Island [TNCS]

Just another hop to the approach of Saba Island (TNCS), in my private cessna 172. Saba is known for its world's shortest commercial runway, at 1300ft long. Some aviation experts are of the general opinion that the airport is one of the most dangerous in the world, even though no major tragedies have happened at the facility. The airport's sole runway is marked with an X at each end, to indicate to commercial pilots that the airport is closed for commercial aviation.
The danger arises from the airport's physical position. It is flanked on one side by high hills, and on the other side and at both ends of the runway by cliffs dropping into the sea. This creates the possibility that an airplane might overshoot the runway during landing or takeoff and end up in the sea or on the cliffs.

you land on the wrong side

your touchdown is to hard, vertical speed 700-800 feet/min is too much. in real live the cessna will be damaged

the runway is very short you have to touchdown at the beginning not at the middle of the runway

Pretty nice--but kind of long. How about a Twotter landing at Saba? You seen Poppa66's vid of Saba?
