Let’s have a look at the proximity of the threshold of 30 to the main drag into Fairbairn compared with the proximity of the threshold of 12 to the Parkway. The Parkway is half a nautical mile away from the threshold of 12. (And before you say it, TIEW, I know the elevation of the Parkway. I’ve flown over the area thousands of times.) Maybe the safety of the people on road into Fairbairn isn’t as important as the safety of the people on the Parkway? Maybe the safety of the people using the road into Fairbairn would magically become more important if the land to the west of 30 could be developed by the airport lessor?

Are you saying that it is impossible to have a different length available at night versus day VFR, or are you just focussing on the term ‘displaced threshold’ to distract?
