Landing before displaced thresholds?

[hotrod180]

Seems like displaced threshholds are usually done to insure clearance above terrains, trees, roads etc.
But I think the threshhold at Seiku WA 11S was displaced due to pavement damage.
That way they didn't have to repair it, or maintain it.

I doubt they’d use a displaced threshold for pavement damage. You CAN use a displaced threshold for takeoff. But stranger things have happened.

The story puzzles me but maybe the runway markings have changed since then. The current layout shows 36 as the only runway on which a landing could be made on a displaced threshold and exit made without crossing the threshold line. That's a long taxi to the ramp that would have been avoided by landing longer.

I didn't say the turn-off was before the threshold line. I just said I had stopped before the threshold. I landed on 31 and then taxied up to turn off on Alpha. The controller was just having some fun. Don't overthink it!!

It seems I misunderstood the tower instruction "disregard the usable portion of the runway and make your first left". Didn't see how you could both disregard it and use it.
