![]() "Ron Lee" wrote in message James is correct. FAA diagram he I think not. The google aerial photos are the older reference, taken some 3-4 years ago. My interpretation is this: Since that time, the threshold of Rwy 22 has been displaced some 600 ft SW, leaving what appears to be designated as an overrun for Rwy 04. It appears the taxiway leading to it from the end of Rwy 22 has been closed. The fed taxi chart appears to only sow those areas of pavement open for use. I can't vouch for the administrative points, but the photos and diagrams bear out my theory. |

Here is a quote from your previous response: James is correct. FAA diagram he I think not. ... Sure looks like you were responding to something I said. |

![]() "James Robinson" wrote in message Here is a quote from your previous response: James is correct. FAA diagram he I think not. ... Sure looks like you were responding to something I said. sigh try to follow, now.... What you said was accurate in itself -- the diagram doesn't show the other taxiway. To which john smith added... "The diagram has not been updated to show the newly added 600 foot ....." To which I replied "...Quite the opposite, I think...." [because there was no newly added, etc etc] At which point Ron Bell said "...James is correct. FAA diagram he" which clearly means, for those for whom interpretation is needed, "James is correct for the reasons shown in the FAA diagram here", which, of course, was inaccurate on Ron's part. And I said "I think not..." You were correct because what you said was accurate, but the diagram and photo don't demonstrate any new area at all. Its the diagram and the photos and the notion of a newly added piece of pavement that were being discussed. |

Remember that while the threshhold is displaced, the pavement behind the displacement (original runway threshhold) is still available for takeoff. |

Only if so designated by the airport authority or FAA iaw applicable policies. Recent aerial video of the airport shot since the crash show that the displaced paved area of the approach end of Rwy 22 is painted with yellow chevron striping. Iirc, this indicates that the area is NOT usable for taxi, takeoff, or landing. |

Iirc, this indicates that the area is NOT usable for taxi, takeoff, or landing. Not Suitable For Taxi, Takeoff Or Landing -- -- -- Suitable for Taxi and Takeoff but NOT Landing Right. That's the thing some posters are missing; The recent runway improvements were to SHORTEN the runway 22, creating a long overrun/blast pad area on the approach end (not usable for normal ops). The airport then placed some barracade obstructions across the old taxiway A-8 to prevent access. And the NOS charts do not even show that section anymore. http://www.faa.gov/ATpubs/AIM/Chap2/...html#NX732ROBE But the old google earth and airnav page mini picture still show the old runway 22. Sorry to beat a dead horse. |
