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.

Which is what I said. You perhaps have mixed up who said what in this
thread.

Neither of my posts was a response to anything you said. Check the thread

Here is a quote from your previous response:

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.

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.
