Any mistake from the pilot and the whole  plane, passengers and all could end up in the drink.       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />         <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />      Funchal Airport was  originally opened in 1964 and is infamous for it’s runway that is  surrounded by high mountains on one side and the ocean on the other.The  combination of mountains and ocean, with the runway right in the middle  means that the flow of air around the runway is unpredictable. (Air  temperature varies over land compared to water, sometimes creating  abnormal air currents).Many pilots had trouble landing on the  runway. To make matters worse the runway was originally very short, so  some pilots who had trouble getting their planes down in time onto the  runway, were then stuck with the problem of running out of runway!In  1977 a TAP Air Portugal Flight struck problems landing at the airport  and slid off the end of the runway. As a result of the accident 125  passengers of 156 on board died, 6 out of the 8 crew also lost their  lives. It was at the time the deadliest airplane accident in Portugal.  TAP Air Portugal stopped flying Boeing 727 series 200 to the airport  after this accident, instead only allowing the smaller 727-100 to land  there.       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />      The problems with  the runway, is that it is in between the ocean and a mountain and it’s  too short. Not much can be done about the mountain or the ocean, but the  runway could be made longer, only problem there is a bay of water where  it needs to be lengthened. so they reclaimed the bay and extended the  runway on top of huge concrete poles! surprisingly,  the runway is  designed  for B-747. You can also see the cars parked below the runway.       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_19.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_20.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />       <img src="http://www.snegidhi.com/2009/17-11/Airport_runway_21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />               Landing at Madeira          Airport (Video)                    Some Technical Details on the new Runway:The extension was completed on September 15, 2000.The total length of the runway is 2,781 metres. (approx 1000 metres of which is the new extension)Width of Extension: 180 metresNumber of support poles: 180Each support pole is 3 metres wide and 120 metres long, half of which is below sea level.For  the extension of the new runway the Funchal Airport has won the  Outstanding Structures Award, given by International Association for  Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE). This is considered to be the  “Oscar” for engineering structures in Portugal.            <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/cool.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /></blockquote>
