I used to fly to Bank in 1996/1997 in a Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander with Island Airways based in Madang. From memory (it’s now 2021.02.21), it was a downhill landing and uphill take off at 3953 feet above sea level at ISA+ 17, very slippery when wet and 472 metres long. I used to encourage the locals to grow bamboo at the end in case of overruns. Photo link to my Google Photos: https://photos.app.goo.gl/SpNa649HiRRS48e99 Double click for more information.
