Pavement before a displaced threshold, marked with white arrows, may NOT be used for which?

Landing from that end.

  1. Landing from that end ✔
  2. Takeoff in either direction
  3. Landing from the opposite direction

Why: White arrows lead up to a displaced threshold. That pavement is available for takeoffs in either direction and for rollout when landing from the opposite direction, but not for touchdown from the displaced end.

Huh, didn't know that: A 10 foot wide white threshold bar marks the displaced threshold, where the landing area begins.

The dad joke
Why did the arrow get good grades? It always got straight to the point.
