stretching the friendship there, Pontius...
Yeah, you're right, I shouldn't have used PCN. Maybe I should have mentioned the weight bearing differences twixt landing and taking off.

Having said all that, I'm a tad confused by what RAT 5 has written. If he wanted to 'dip under' the GP once over the end of the runway, in order that he could plonk it on the numbers of the displaced threshold then I can understand his thinking and am convinced of the logic in making use of the runway length, versus putting it down in the TDZ of the displaced threshold runway. But he does mention, "The full length was available for takeoff, so the runway would sustain our landing". That, to me suggests landing before the displaced threshold, about which I do not agree, hence my suggestion of bearing capabilities (even if I did use the incorrect verbiage)

......and there's me saying I wasn't going to get into this
