Question 12-39
Icao annex 14 visual aids navigation lights displaced threshold when a threshold displaced what colour shall lights have in approach direction between beginning of runway and displaced threshold The length of take off run available plus length of stop way (if stop way provided). Displaced thresholds may be used taxiing takeoff landing rollout but not touchdown a displaced threshold often exists because obstacles just before runway runway strength or noise restrictions may make beginning section of runway unsuitable landings it marked with white paint arrows that lead up to beginning of landing portion of runway example of displaced threshold with red lights between beginning of runway the displaced threshold .
