The E-28 arresting gear is charted for both runways 10 and 28 in the current airport diagram. It does not affect runway length calculations as far as I recall [but, it appears from the Boeing article linked below that some operators do indeed reduce the usable runway length - Airbubba].

However, a displaced threshold for runway 10 is depicted. Down in the fine print (the find the faces in the picture test) the runway 10 landing length is given as 8006 feet. Anybody have a Jepp chart for this airport?

I also notice that Navy Jax doesn't have a VHF ATIS frequency listed. However, most of us get ATIS by digital means these days I suppose. I didn't hear the approach controller read the actual ATIS and weather sequence but he did paint a very unfavorable picture of field conditions after his call to NIP Tower.
