There isn’t one. There is a dip, and then a marshy area, and then there is a soil berm that supports the runway lighting system which is at the same height as the runway surface. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1108904845802471515/1322738259578720349/4Nkaebd.png?ex=6771f780&is=6770a600&hm=2ca5075b1d05f7d1106139a33be5294fc4317530d5d25a147e32772a897d04d6&=&format=webp&quality=lossless https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1108904845802471515... I’d like to know if his runway had an EMAS system, and if EMAS is effective against an aircraft without the landing gear down. In satellite photos, both ends of the runway are marked with yellow chevrons, which indicates that the surface is not supposed to be taxiied on, and it has a blocky/pixelated coloring which is typical of EMAS but I cant find an airport facility directory that covers MXW. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_materials_arrestor_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_materials_arrestor_...

Runway info: [1]. No mention of EMAS. There are chevrons at each end, but EMAS markings are not yet standardized internationally, which ops.group complains about. At that speed, with gear up, and possibly still under power, EMAS might not help much. Unclear from the video. Expect more solid info tomorrow.

All media seems to say that it is indeed made of concrete. Perhaps covered in soil?

FYI the Discord image link will expire after a few hours. If you could link the original source or reupload the image onto another image host such as Imgur, that'd be nice for people reading the thread later

  So let it be written, so let it be done. Sorry, too late to edit my original post, and the original was a webp that imgur won’t take so I had to screenshot it. https://imgur.com/a/nu3wSZJ https://imgur.com/a/nu3wSZJ
