Toncontin Airport, Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Situated in a very mountainous terrain, pilots have to be well-trained to successfully land the plane on this airport. During descent, the plane has to make a 45 degree angle so that it can easily line up to the 7,000-foot runway. Otherwise, it won’t be enough. Passengers will also feel a quick drop as the plane is approaching the runway. To make it worse, this area also suffers from frequent winds. Thus, several last-second decisions have to be made.
