Where on earth is this "over the fence" place? Where I fly from there is a displaced threshold and if I cut the power when crossing the 'fence' I would most definitely land short.
For those that have learned to fly in the last 20 to 30 or so years, I will explain - I think everyone else knows the term all too well and where it referrs to!!

For performance purposes an imaginary fence was placed at both ends of the runway that had to be cleared. For landing it was 50ft high and placed at the threshold.

I shudder to think what a pilot who thinks like that would do when given the CAA poster advice of "Think Hedgerow not Heathrow"!!!
