  2. Runway end identifier light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway_end_identifier_light

    where a runway threshold is permanently displaced from the runway extremity or temporarily displaced from the normal position and additional threshold conspicuity is necessary. Runway threshold identification lights shall be located symmetrically about the runway centre line, in line with the threshold and approximately 10 meters outside each ...

  3. Displaced threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displaced_threshold

    A portion of the runway behind a displaced threshold has three markings: [1] White arrows along the center line of the runway; White arrow heads across the width of the runway just prior to the displaced threshold bar; A 10 feet (3.0 m) wide white threshold bar across the width of the runway at the displaced threshold

  4. Runway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway

    Displaced thresholds may be used for taxiing, takeoff, and landing rollout, but not for touchdown. 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 ]

  5. Threshold displacement energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_displacement_energy

    In materials science, the threshold displacement energy (T d) is the minimum kinetic energy that an atom in a solid needs to be permanently displaced from its site in the lattice to a defect position. It is also known as "displacement threshold energy" or just "displacement energy".

  6. Pan Am Flight 845 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_Am_Flight_845

    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 ...

  7. World Airways Flight 30 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Airways_Flight_30

    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 .

  8. Bunbury Airport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunbury_Airport

    Bunbury Airport has a single sealed runway, 07/25 which is 1,222 m × 18 m (4,009 ft × 59 ft) wide. Due to the proximity of the South Western Highway, there is a 206 m (676 ft) permanently displaced threshold at the runway 25 end to allow sufficient clearance over the road. Because of this, the available landing distance is 1,015 m (3,330 ft).

  9. Underground nuclear weapons testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_nuclear...

    The effects of an underground nuclear test may vary according to factors including the depth and yield of the explosion, as well as the nature of the surrounding rock. [25] If the test is conducted at sufficient depth, the test is said to be contained, with no venting of gases or other contaminants to the environment. [25]
