That’s not to say Ben’s pre-processing couldn’t perhaps deal with such sudden changes in elevation along the length of a runway perhaps?

I’d say London City EGLC would be a good test candidate, given the runway is built on an old dock.

I wonder too is there a possibility of the beach-generating’ process ignoring stretches of coastline with straight sections at right angles so that city docks and wharfs retain their man-made shape properly? Something to chew on…

There is a pretty significant ledge on the runway at that airport that disappears with “Allow sloped runways” unchecked.

EGCC is another airport you might like to take a look at with this problem – I’m not sure it’s exactly the same issue, because it’s nowhere near the coast, but a stream runs under one of the runways and this causes a big dip halfway along when sloped runways is switched on.

Worth a look, anyway.
