Can any of you valued and appreciated ATC types answer a question for me?
I am curious to the legality, or the rules regarding runway takeoff clearance from the displaced threshold and not the beginning of the runway. My question has to do with what you can see regarding the runway environment.
In low visibility you would not see any runway environment (C.L.) until the beginning of the runway after the displaced threshold. You may see red runway lights indicating the last 1000’ from the other direction. Taking off into red lights is not kosher! Are there rules for such a scenario? Are they certain requirements for runway lighting in this case? Can you direct me or quote any regulations regarding my above scenario?
A pilot...Thanks
