The most dangerous runways of airports

I saw the movie pretty much on the subject of aircraft crashes through the strange and scary areas, but in fact almost 60% of incidents occur on takeoff or landing. Below I have compiled a list of the most dangerous tracks that probably only the more adventurous of you would like to reach.
 

Barra AirportThis is one of the most spectacular and beautiful in the world, located on the island whose name it bears. To understand why it was included in this list, we need to establish from the outset that we are talking about an airport whose runway is directly beach. Barra is the only track in the world regularly used for landings. Of course, the program is changed frequently because landings flow and any landing is a challenge even for the most experienced pilots. Although a part of the world where winds make landing is not very pleasant, but on the contrary, dangerous, everywhere tourists come to experience landing on the sand. Chubu Centrair International Airport Chubu Centrair is located on an artificial island in Ise Bay, Japan. There is no need to give more details about this track, it is enough to see the view out the window before landing safely freeze the blood in your veins. Congonhas AirportMost major cities have airports, but it rarely happens that they are located just 8 kilometers from the city center. Why Congonhas Airport is located in the city is that it was completed in 1936 and shortly after its construction, Sao Paulo grew quickly became metropolis. However, because aircraft landing location is a challenge for both pilots and air traffic controllers.Copalis State AirportAnother danger is that the airport runway Copalis all located on the beach between the mouth of the river whose name it bears, and a barrier of rocks. Before landing, pilots are required to monitor the top track to convince that it is in good condition. They are advised to choose portions of dark sand, which is more stable compared to the light and dry. Courchevel AirportThe French Alps runway has a length of only 545m and if it was not enough to midst is a small hill that makes the landing is not devoid of emotion. Gibraltar AirportBetween Morocco and Spain sits the small English territory, known as Gibraltar. In during the Second World War, there was built an airport and today works for the British Air Forces. Besides the fact that the track is located between the city and rock spectacular is the fact that it crosses Winston Churchill Avenue. Thus, whenever a plane comes and goes, moving machinery is off. Why this track was created here is that only soil is not bumpy.Gustaf III Airport The airport is located on the island of Saint Barthelemy, Caribbean. Short track of it is special because it begins and ends with a slope on a beach. Kai Tak International AirportIt was Hong Kong International Airport from 1925 to 1998 when, to the delight of local residents was closed and replaced by another located 30 kilometers away. When aeroforul was closed, the track has a length of 3390 m, but that's because over time increasingly claimed more of the port. Because it was built airport area residents were terrified of planes that were forced to come down a lot over the city when you land. KansaiIn a country like Japan, where land is not enough, engineers have worked to build an offshore island 3 kilometers away from Osaka Bay. Island Construction began in 1987 and in 1994 the new airport aircraft already landed here. Passengers arrive at Kansai artificial island, which has a length of 4km and 2km wide and half via a special bridge crossed by car, subway, and a high-speed train. The main threat of airport address are earthquakes, cyclones, seabed instability or even sabotage by protesters.Also, the island is threatened by climate change, because when it was built Circles, engineers failed to take into account these dangers. If one does not find a solution saving on this topic, there is a risk that in 50 years the island to be swallowed. Madeira AirportBetween the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on a cliff is terrifying Madeira Airport. Due to the relatively small size of the island, this track could not be constructed with a length of 1.5 km. Matekane Air StripMatekane Air Strip in Lesotho is one of Africa airstrip perched on a rock just 600 meters. In these circumstances it is not surprising that the track length is not greater than 400m. Most often it is used by physicians or non-governmental organizations. Narsarsuaq Airport The airport is located in Greenland and even has an acceptable track main problem is imposed by strong winds that asks pilots very much. Due to weather conditions at the airport activity is carried out only during the day. Paro International Airport Situated at an altitude of 2236m and surrounded by mountain peaks with a height of 5000m, the airport offers a spectacular view. However, arrivals and departures are often problematic due to climatic conditions. Not infrequently flights are canceled due to fog or wind. Nor on this track are not permitted takeoff or landing at night.Ice trackThe track here is one of the three landing sites serving McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica. In fact, it can be called a "track" is not just a place where planes and helicopters landing directly on ice trodden carefully. One of the major problems encountered by pilots main risk is the risk that the jets to skate on ice, snow falling in the mountains when landing. Princess Juliana Airport Because of the short runway (2300m only) pilots are forced to descend the aircraft enough. The problem would not be as great if the airport would be located near a beach. Despite the infernal noise and hazards they are exposed to tourists (including extremely strong currents produced by aircraft), the view of the beach can be amazing. Aeroportul QuitoA densely populated neighborhood, a short track that endangers passengers, active volcanoes and fog, they should be the main reasons for Quito Airport will be moved on current agricultural area, 20 kilometers away from the city. Svalbard Airport Located in Longyearbyen, on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, the Barents Sea, the airport was created in 1975 by a layer of permafrost. Over time, seasonal changes permanent layer of ice caused by global warming, leading to serious uneven surface. Therefore, here are the necessary permanent repairs of the runway and the landing is quite difficult. Aeroportul Tenzing-Hillary Located in eastern Nepal, Tenzing-Hillary Airport was voted in 2010 as the most dangerous in the world by Chanell History. Located at 2.860m above sea level, this track has a length of only 460m. Therefore landings are quite sharp, but that does not make the airport less populated, given that the tourists come here all trying to conquer Everest. Aeroportul Tenzing-Hillary  Toncontín International AirportLocated just 6 km from the center of Tegucigalpa airport is known as one of the most dangerous places to land official. It is equipped with a single asphalt runway, which by 2011 had very low dimensions. Even if today the main runway is paved and measures 2.021m long and 45m wide runway 02 is extremely dangerous since it is not asphalted. Juancho E. Aeroportul YrausquinAirport runways here do not exceed a length of 396 meters, which is why large planes can not land at such airport.But that means that landing is problematic even for small Cessna aircraft leisure.Aeroportul Wellington Although it is one of the busiest airports in New Zealand, he has only one runway. Landings here can be extremely dangerous because of strong winds, so that those who are afraid of turbulence should avoid it. Aeroportul Williams FieldIt is one of three airports in Antarctica and has 2 runways, all the ice. This aircraft landed on a bed of snow beaten, 8m thick, placed over 80m over 550m floating ice water.
