Aircraft are expected to land beyond the displaced threshold. Departing aircraft are permitted to use the section of the runway behind a displaced threshold for takeoffs or landing rollouts from the opposite direction even if the reason for the displacement is lowered pavement resistance, because those aircraft are not impacting the runway with ...

The flight crew subsequently failed to stabilize the aircraft's descent rate and airspeed, descended below the glideslope and drifted left of the localizer course, hitting a seawall about 165 feet (50 m) to the right of the extended runway centerline, about 3,000 feet (910 m) short of the runway's displaced threshold. The aircraft was destroyed ...
Other mainline jet aircraft types operated by the airline over the years included Boeing 727-100, 737-200, 737-400, 737-800 [20] and Douglas DC-8 jets. Cayman Airways currently operates four Boeing 737 MAX 8 jetliners with nonstop service to destinations in Cuba, Honduras, Jamaica and the U.S. as well as local flights to Cayman Brac.
The DC-10 touched down 2,800 feet (850 m) beyond the displaced threshold. [2] Under normal circumstances, such an incident would have been of minor importance and the plane would have had sufficient space to come to a full stop on the 10,000 feet (3,000 m) long runway .
Short-field landing is a demanding procedure for pilots in aircraft, utilized when the length of the runway or landing area is relatively short, or where obstacles in close vicinity to the landing approach limit the available landing area. [1] In the latter case, the runway likely have a Displaced threshold.
Latest available imagery [7] (2/12/2015) shows a displaced threshold on the southeast end of the runway, limiting runway length to 1,315 metres (4,314 ft). Airlines and destinations [ edit ]
Runway 01R was about 8,500 feet (2,600 m) long from its displaced threshold (from which point the takeoff was to start) to the end, which was the available takeoff length for Flight 845. [8] Because of various misunderstandings, the flight crew was erroneously informed that the available takeoff length from the displaced threshold was 9,500 ...
