What is indicated by a pattern of longitudinal stripes of uniform dimensions disposed symmetrically about the centreline of a runway?
Refer to figure.
A displaced threshold is a threshold located at a point on the runway other than the designated beginning of the runway. Displacement of a threshold reduces the length of runway available for landings meaning an aircraft can’t touch down before the displaced threshold. The portion of runway behind a displaced threshold is available for take-offs in either direction and landings from the opposite direction. A ten feet wide white threshold bar is located across the width of the runway at the displaced threshold. White arrows are located along the centreline in the area between the beginning of the runway and displaced threshold. White arrow heads are located across the width of the runway just prior to the threshold bar, as shown in attached figure.
