Nothing really, unless you count two tall mountains and bodies of water on either side of the airport. I'd say the final approach path for R2 is even more dangerous than that of @MINION366's airport. Ideally, the high mountain elevation on the right side and the short distance from their base to the runway prevents a direct glide slope, so most pilots can only land manually with no autopilot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- By simulation, a plane would need to descend dangerously close to the mountains before pitching to around -6 to -8 degrees, risking sink rate and rapid speed increase, just to reach the ILS glide slope. Then pull up to decrease speed and slow descent while approaching the runway. But: -Land too late and fast, risk overshooting the runway and land in water. -Land too early before the runway, you'll land in water. (Because there is a BIG MOAT encircling the airport all the way to the runway edge.) Good luck!
