b) all 6 runway ends now show significantly displaced landing thresholds, presumably for noise mitigation reasons
Given how far the long haul heavies can roll on landing, is that wise or just slapdash graphics?
Probably last comment crap graphics
However current declared lengths are
09L/27R 3,900m 12,795' grooved asphalt
09R/27L 3,660m 12,008' grooved asphalt
At current elevations and with current and known future aircraft you could easily displace the thresholds of both by 500 metres without impeding any operations if its primarily for noise abatement purposes.
There really aren't that many under performing DC-8 srs 61F or Tridents with go-cart engines in service these days
