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.
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. [30] It is marked with white paint arrows that lead up to the beginning of the landing portion of the runway.
The accident report stated that the airplane had landed with a 10-knot (19 km/h; 12 mph) tailwind, 400 metres (1,300 ft) from the displaced approach end of the runway. Since this was the first intermediate stop on a long transcontinental flight, the aircraft was near its maximum landing-weight limit (63.5 t vs. 64.5 t maximum allowable).
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.
The aircraft touched down far past the displaced threshold, leaving the aircraft insufficient runway to stop due to severe icing, and came to a stop in Boston Harbor. Two passengers were never found and are presumed to have drowned. January 13, 1982 78 9 5 Air Florida Flight 90: Potomac River, Washington, D.C. District of Columbia: Boeing 737-200

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]
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]
