Airport Operations Flashcards
Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
An ATC procedure that is used when simultaneous operations (takeoffs and landings) are being conducted on intersecting runways.
PIC has the final authority to accept or decline any of this clearance. The pilot must be aware of the reduced runway distances and whether or not you can comply.
Pilots should only receive this clearance when there is a minimum ceiling of 1,000 feet and 3 statute miles of visibility.
The recommended procedure when climbing or descending VFR on an airway:
Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace.
During climbs and descents in flight conditions which permit visual detection of other traffic, pilots should execute gentle banks, left and right at a frequency which permits continuous visual scanning of the airspace about them.
Where is the ‘Available Landing Distance’ (ALD) data published for an airport that utilizes Land and Hold Short Operations?
