Correct, the threshold of runway 12 is being done first. This will give us a displaced threshold of 829m. Because of this, the ILS is now out of action. Very similar to BNE's 01R displaced threshold. So increased minimums and visibilities have been calculated with temporary charts using GPS and also the VOR approach (if we need it).@AviatorInsight , Hobart airport is having its runway strengthened, in thirds, it seems. Northern ~third (830m according to reports) being done first, so that segment is closed; I saw a bunch of vehicles and people there today. Middle segment to be done over nights, in summer.
Does this pose any particular issues, esp in poor weather? Still get away with fully laden B737s or will fuel have to be managed a bit? I guess the machinery and people have to clear off for an aircraft takeoff/landing?
The only weight restriction we have been given is that the planned landing weight must not exceed 64T (2.3T below our maximum landing weight). Nothing about maximum take off weight departing though.
