FIG 4
−3−6
Land and Hold Short of an Intersecting Runway
EXAMPLE
−
−3−8 − holding short at a designated point may be
required to avoid conflicts with the runway safety
area/flight path of a nearby runway.
NOTE
−
Each figure shows the approximate location of LAHSO
markings, signage, and in

installed.

Runway or Taxiway
5.
If, for any reason, such as difficulty in
discerning the location of a LAHSO intersection,
wind conditions, aircraft condition, etc., the pilot
elects to request to land on the full length of the
runway, to land on another runway, or to decline
LAHSO, a pilot is expected to promptly inform air
traffic, ideally even before the clearance is issued. A
LAHSO clearance, once accepted, must be
adhered to, just as any other ATC clearance,
unless an amended clearance is obtained or an
emergency occurs. A LAHSO clearance does not
preclude a rejected landing.
6.
A pilot who accepts a LAHSO clearance
should land and exit the runway at the first convenient
taxiway (unless directed otherwise) before reaching
the hold short point. Otherwise, the pilot must stop
and hold at the hold short point. If a rejected landing
becomes necessary after accepting a LAHSO
clearance, the pilot should maintain safe separa-
tion from other aircraft or vehicles, and should
promptly notify the controller.
7.
Controllers need a full read back of all
LAHSO clearances. Pilots should read back their
LAHSO clearance and include the words, “HOLD
SHORT OF (RUNWAY/TAXIWAY/OR POINT)” in
their acknowledgment of all LAHSO clearances. In
order to reduce frequency congestion, pilots are
encouraged to read back the LAHSO clearance
