And, BTW, ARRAKIS, the coordinates of the thresholds on the chart which is not supposed to be used for landing are exactly that — useless for landing. Just note the true runway heading of 266°46' elsewhere on the charts (next to the РСБН¹ runway data). And, BTW, this heading and the РСБН runway distance data are an almost exact match to what you can see in Google Earth.

¹ РСБН — a Soviet radio navigation system, in its basic form functionally similar to VOR/DME, see DTIC and elsewhere for details.
