Narrative:
The intersection of runway 19 and 15/33 creates a dangerous situation for both landing and departing aircraft. When departing or landing runway 19 there is a large hump in the first 1;000 feet of the runway. This is due to the crowning of the intersecting runway (15/33). This hump causes aircraft to bounce on landing as well as during the takeoff roll that can lead to a dangerous porpoising situation.
