Maximizing runway length
Hi all,
Check out this landing on youtube:
Now that is what I call leaving as much runway as possible for your use. Glad no vehicles were passing by the approach at the time.

The arrow on the runway at 1.10 indicates there IS a displaced threshold and the tyremarks before the arrow indicate the touchdown point of (possibly) this flight.
Chevvron
If indeed the pilot did touchdown before the displaced threshold, a prosecution for endangering flight should be considered by the regulatory authority. As it is a turbo-jet aircraft the ICAO standard (Annex 14) requires a visual approach guidance system (PAPI/VASI) quite apart from any instrument approach system. Presumably one is provided, and if so apparently dis-regarded.
Possibility of high sided vehicles crossing close to the threshold, remind you of anywhere?
