A displaced threshold may also be introduced as a noise mitigation measure for the communities overflown on approach, or if a beginning section of the runway is no longer able to sustain the continuous impact from landing aircraft. Aircraft are expected to land beyond the displaced threshold.
Flight 605 touched down more than 2,100 feet (640 m) past the runway's displaced threshold, at a speed of 150 knots (278 km/h; 173 mph), following an IGS runway 13 approach. Typhoon Ira was generating 20-knot (37 km/h; 23 mph) crosswinds on that runway, gusting to 38 knots (70 km/h; 44 mph), from a heading of 070 degrees.
A displaced threshold often exists because of obstacles just before the runway, runway strength, or noise restrictions making the beginning section of runway unsuitable for landings. [25] It is marked with white paint arrows that lead up to the beginning of the landing portion of the runway.
Post-accident investigation showed the aircraft touched down approximately 1,600 feet (490 m) beyond the displaced threshold and veered right, reaching approximately 75 feet (23 m) from the Runway 10 centerline at a point 6,200 feet (1,900 m) from the displaced threshold.
Runway 02/20 length includes a 300 metres (980 ft) displaced threshold on Runway 20. Runway 15/33 length includes a 240 metres (790 ft) displaced threshold and 150 metres (490 ft) overrun on Runway 33. The Barcelona VORTAC (Ident: BNA) is located 0.36 nautical miles (0.67 km) off the threshold of Runway 15. [3]

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 ...
