Displaced Threshold Lighting

If the runway threshold has been displaced, the runway threshold lights and the approach threshold bar are displaced accordingly. The displaced threshold will be marked using red and yellow lights, with red being visible to landing traffic and yellow visible to traffic departing from the opposite direction. The runway end is still indicated conventionally using directional red lights, however, the displaced threshold will be indicated using wing bar lights or an approach threshold bar.
