Narrative:

At avl; there are two (parallel) runways. One is a temporary runway with an ILS and GPS approach. The other runway is new (under construction) with fresh asphalt pavement and markings. On a five mile visual approach; it can be confusing as to which runway is the active runway and which runway is under construction. During the daytime; the flashing 'X' at the approach end of the runway under construction is difficult to see until approximately a 2 mile final. Unless you are tracking the localizer or the GPS course to the 'west' runway; it is entirely possible to line up and land on that new runway. Also; there are no notams associated with the new runway except for some taxiway notams. Add to [the company's] release a note describing the two runways and to not mistake the east runway as an active/open runway. Also; there should/could be a NOTAM filed regarding the current runway situation.
