## Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) 

When simultaneous operations (takeoffs and landings) are being conducted on intersecting runways, Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) may also be in effect. LAHSO is an ATC procedure that may require your participation and

compliance. As pilot in command (PIC), you have the final authority to accept or decline any LAHSO clearance. 

If issued a land and hold short clearance, you must be aware of the reduced runway distances and whether or not you can comply before accepting the clearance. You do not have to accept a LAHSO clearance. Pilots should only receive a LAHSO clearance when there is a minimum ceiling of 1,000 feet and 3 statute miles of visibility. 

Runway holding position signs and markings are installed on those runways used for LAHSO. The signs and markings are placed at the LAHSO point to aid you in determining where to stop and hold the aircraft and are located prior to the runway/runway intersection. [Figure 14-17] 

The holding position sign has a white inscription with black border around the numbers on a red background and is installed adjacent to the holding position markings. If you accept a land and hold short clearance, you must comply so that no portion of the aircraft extends beyond these hold markings. 

If receiving “cleared to land” instructions from ATC, you are authorized to use the entire landing length of the runway and should disregard any LAHSO holding position markings located on the runway. If you receive and accept LAHSO instructions, you must stop short of the intersecting runway prior to the LAHSO signs and markings. 

Below is a list of items which, if thoroughly understood and complied with, will ensure that LAHSO operations are conducted properly. 

• Know landing distance available. 

• Be advised by ATC as to why LAHSO are being conducted.
