Which condition is required to accept a LAHSO?

Which condition is required to accept a LAHSO?

• A. Runway Dry
• B. 1,500/5 or 1000/3 with PAPI/VASI
• C. No Wind shear within 20 minutes
• D. Vertical Visual or Electronic Guidance

Answer: (A)

LAHSO means landing and holding short of a designated point on the runway. The essential condition to accept a LAHSO clearance is that the runway surface be dry. A dry runway gives predictable braking performance and stopping distance, allowing you to land and stop before the hold-short point with confidence. If the runway is wet or contaminated, braking action decreases and stopping distances increase, making it much riskier (or unsafe) to accept a LAHSO clearance. That’s why a dry runway is the required condition for accepting LAHSO.
