Narrative:

Oakland runway 29 threshold displaced 2400 temperature during daylight hours. Condition notamed and mention on ATIS. Flight landed normally at 1000 point on runway in the closed portion. On approach, runway appeared clear and normal with no unusual markings or indications. Tower informed captain in dispatch by telephone of abnormal situation. Captain flying right seat with supervisory pilot in left seat for requalification as line check airman (IOE) captain very familiar with oak before, during and after the earthquake of 1989. Reviewing NOTAMS at upline station, captain noted runway 29 G/south out of service and assumed that the other NOTAMS referred to the previous condition of the northwest portion of runway 29 and parallel taxiway being closed for earthquake repair. This erroneous analysis was passed on to the supervisory captain. A completely normal flight, descent and approach ensued, except that the runway condition was not recognized when transcribing the ATIS. The closed portion of the runway was scheduled to be reopened at 1700 local time. More obvious markings of the threshold displacement and/or a reminder by tower would have helped in this situation. Captain's confidence in his familiarity with the airport caused the original misinterp of the NOTAMS. Supplemental information from acn 160732. After landing and taxiing to the gate, the tower notified us that we landed on a closed portion of the runway. We both talked ourselves into landing per our past experience into oak. We even discussed landing on the 1000' markers and turning off on taxiway 4.

Title: ACR MLG LANDS ON CLOSED PORTION OF RWY 29 AT OAK (DISPLACED THRESHOLD).

Narrative: OAKLAND RWY 29 THRESHOLD DISPLACED 2400 TEMP DURING DAYLIGHT HRS. CONDITION NOTAMED AND MENTION ON ATIS. FLT LANDED NORMALLY AT 1000 POINT ON RWY IN THE CLOSED PORTION. ON APCH, RWY APPEARED CLR AND NORMAL WITH NO UNUSUAL MARKINGS OR INDICATIONS. TWR INFORMED CAPT IN DISPATCH BY TELEPHONE OF ABNORMAL SITUATION. CAPT FLYING R SEAT WITH SUPERVISORY PLT IN L SEAT FOR REQUALIFICATION AS LINE CHK AIRMAN (IOE) CAPT VERY FAMILIAR WITH OAK BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE OF 1989. REVIEWING NOTAMS AT UPLINE STATION, CAPT NOTED RWY 29 G/S OUT OF SVC AND ASSUMED THAT THE OTHER NOTAMS REFERRED TO THE PREVIOUS CONDITION OF THE NW PORTION OF RWY 29 AND PARALLEL TXWY BEING CLOSED FOR EARTHQUAKE REPAIR. THIS ERRONEOUS ANALYSIS WAS PASSED ON TO THE SUPERVISORY CAPT. A COMPLETELY NORMAL FLT, DSNT AND APCH ENSUED, EXCEPT THAT THE RWY CONDITION WAS NOT RECOGNIZED WHEN TRANSCRIBING THE ATIS. THE CLOSED PORTION OF THE RWY WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REOPENED AT 1700 LCL TIME. MORE OBVIOUS MARKINGS OF THE THRESHOLD DISPLACEMENT AND/OR A REMINDER BY TWR WOULD HAVE HELPED IN THIS SITUATION. CAPT'S CONFIDENCE IN HIS FAMILIARITY WITH THE ARPT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL MISINTERP OF THE NOTAMS. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 160732. AFTER LNDG AND TAXIING TO THE GATE, THE TWR NOTIFIED US THAT WE LANDED ON A CLOSED PORTION OF THE RWY. WE BOTH TALKED OURSELVES INTO LNDG PER OUR PAST EXPERIENCE INTO OAK. WE EVEN DISCUSSED LNDG ON THE 1000' MARKERS AND TURNING OFF ON TXWY 4.
