Narrative:

Before departure, noted in NOTAMS displaced threshold of 3000 ft, runway 32, and last 3000 ft of runway 14 closed. In all of my operations in and out of nassau, I have always used runway 14. Since it was the last 3000 ft, it didn't stand out in my mind as an issue that would change any operational procedures, due to 8000 ft still available. As we approached nassau, the captain was busy talking to ATC, so I copied the ATIS. There was a lot of carryover from other facilities on the frequency, so I listened to it numerous times. I copied the WX and runway in use (runway 32), but missed the NOTAM regarding the displaced threshold (I listened to ATIS on ground after flight and then heard it). On approach to runway 32, there were no clear markings of a displaced threshold. The '32' runway numbers were at the end of the pavement instead of at the displaced threshold and the 'lines with arrows' marking a displaced threshold were only lightly painted a few hundred ft prior to the displaced threshold. The first 2500 ft of the runway had all appearances of being open. After landing, tower informed us that we had landed on a closed portion of the runway. Another review of NOTAMS should have been done, but for some reason was not. The 'NOTAMS' part of the approach briefing was briefed as 'na.'

Title: A B757 FLT CREW INADVERTENTLY LAND ON A DISPLACED THRESHOLD AT MYNN, FO.

Narrative: BEFORE DEP, NOTED IN NOTAMS DISPLACED THRESHOLD OF 3000 FT, RWY 32, AND LAST 3000 FT OF RWY 14 CLOSED. IN ALL OF MY OPS IN AND OUT OF NASSAU, I HAVE ALWAYS USED RWY 14. SINCE IT WAS THE LAST 3000 FT, IT DIDN'T STAND OUT IN MY MIND AS AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CHANGE ANY OPERATIONAL PROCS, DUE TO 8000 FT STILL AVAILABLE. AS WE APCHED NASSAU, THE CAPT WAS BUSY TALKING TO ATC, SO I COPIED THE ATIS. THERE WAS A LOT OF CARRYOVER FROM OTHER FACILITIES ON THE FREQ, SO I LISTENED TO IT NUMEROUS TIMES. I COPIED THE WX AND RWY IN USE (RWY 32), BUT MISSED THE NOTAM REGARDING THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD (I LISTENED TO ATIS ON GND AFTER FLT AND THEN HEARD IT). ON APCH TO RWY 32, THERE WERE NO CLR MARKINGS OF A DISPLACED THRESHOLD. THE '32' RWY NUMBERS WERE AT THE END OF THE PAVEMENT INSTEAD OF AT THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD AND THE 'LINES WITH ARROWS' MARKING A DISPLACED THRESHOLD WERE ONLY LIGHTLY PAINTED A FEW HUNDRED FT PRIOR TO THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD. THE FIRST 2500 FT OF THE RWY HAD ALL APPEARANCES OF BEING OPEN. AFTER LNDG, TWR INFORMED US THAT WE HAD LANDED ON A CLOSED PORTION OF THE RWY. ANOTHER REVIEW OF NOTAMS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE, BUT FOR SOME REASON WAS NOT. THE 'NOTAMS' PART OF THE APCH BRIEFING WAS BRIEFED AS 'NA.'
