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 ...
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 ...
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 .
The aircraft involved was a Boeing 747-409, registered as B-165, was a 5-month-old Boeing 747-400 manufactured in June 1993. It was powered by four Pratt & Whitney PW4056 turbofan engines and had only logged 1,969 flight hours in 359 takeoff and landing cycles at the time of the accident.
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 ]
The old Runway 32 had a displaced threshold 658 ft past the beginning of the hard surface, leaving 2,392 ft for landing. For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2018, the airport had 13,900 aircraft operations, an average of 38 per day: 94% general aviation and 6% air taxi. In 2018, there were 24 aircraft based at this airport: 21 single ...
