Dominica is a challenging landing, the approach is to RWY 27 straight in from the sea. However the winds at the last moment can change and then it will be a circle to land on the opposite RWY 09. From the 1600 feet approach it is a right turn heading towards the mountain then a steep descending 180 turn to the runway. Terrain awareness systems go crazy - warning sink rate, then pull up- check RWY!
For the Vision Jet it is not a problem:)
