It was a serious issue, good thing that the plane was basically empty. The problem with Sxm is not so much the landing but the take off. Given the relative shortness of the runway and the proximity of the hills, loosing one engine during take off at full load of passangers, baggages and fuel, it could be a problem. Also do not forget that once a plane in Sxm takes off it must bank/veer to the right not having much support from the nose winds that actualy helps the lift of the plane. All good in Paradise!
