Displaced Threshold - A threshold that is located at a point on the runway other than the designated beginning of the runway.
(See DISPLACED THRESHOLD.)
THRESHOLD CROSSING HEIGHT- The theoretical height above the runway threshold at which the aircraft's glideslope antenna would be if the aircraft maintains the trajectory established by the mean ILS glideslope or MLS ...
I often fly at a rather short, obstructed field: 1700 feet after the displaced threshold. That's short but not too horrible; with some skill and some headwind, you can land a Skyhawk using only half of the runway.
Demarcation Bar: A demarcation bar delineates a runway with a displaced threshold from a blast pad, stopway or taxiway that precedes the runway. A demarcation bar is 3 feet (1m) wide and yellow, since it is not located on the runway ...
This is a displaced threshold, meaning you are supposed to land past the yellow arrow and white "^" arrows.
They also have at the approach end of the runway there can be a displaced threshold (area of the runway used for takeoff, taxi, and landing rollout but not landings) identified by thick, solid, white lines.
When I took off from 23 at Latrobe we were off the ground well before the displaced threshold which is at 850 ft. The plane was at max gross and the density altitude was
almost 3000ft.
