In reference to the Kamloops CFS Chart, what is correct about the runway data?

• A. the direction of runway 04 is 042 deg true
• B. runway 04/22 have the same runway length
• C. number 04 is displaced 689 feet from the threshold
• D. threshold for runway 04 displaced 689 feet

Answer: (D)

Understanding runway data on the Kamloops CFS Chart means recognizing how thresholds and directions are shown. Runway headings on Canadian charts are given as magnetic, not true. So a statement claiming the direction is 042 deg true isn’t correct—the chart would list the magnetic heading around 040-something degrees, not as a true value.

The key correct idea here is that the chart can show a displaced threshold, meaning the usable landing portion of the runway starts after a distance from the physical threshold. When the threshold is displaced by 689 feet, the data will read something like “threshold displaced 689 ft.” That is exactly what option D states in natural wording—the threshold for runway 04 is displaced 689 feet.

The other possibilities don’t fit as well. Saying the direction is true would be incorrect since the chart uses magnetic headings. The notion that runways 04/22 have the same runway length can be misleading because the physical length may be the same, but the landing distance available for runway 04 is reduced by the displaced threshold, so it isn’t simply the same for both directions. The phrasing about “number 04” being displaced is awkward and not how the chart reports a displaced threshold.
