Hi all,
After having studied the declared distances I am a bit puzzled by what I found at LCY.
The concrete is 1508 m long in total. Between both thresholds the distance is 1319m.
Yet the TORA is 1199 m, howeever with a stopway/clearway of 120m available bringing the ASDA and the TODA back to 1319.
When lining up from e.g. 10 you actually line up before the threshold and have a lot more concrete (well ok, a little more) than 1319m in front of you.
My only idea is that there is some sort of other issue at LCY I am overlooking, like maybe a legal max of 1199m(30m wide?), or maybe an obstacle preventing the use of more stopway/clearway.
Anyone able to shed some more light on LCY declared distances?
