Where exactly is the 1000ft marker on the runway? I know it's the thick white marks 1000ft after the threshold, but the thich white marks are also quite long, so is the 1000ft at the beginning, middle or end of the thick white marks?

s76,

The beginning of the mark.

See 5.4 here: AGA - 5.0 MARKERS, MARKINGS, SIGNS AND INDICATORS - Transport Canada (http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp14371-aga-5-0-3095.htm)

Thanks for a good question. I didn't know this until I looked it up :)
