Default LAHSO Procedures

I'll agree with Steve's reply..
There is not log book endorsement for LAHSO.
You as the pilot can either choose to accept or deny the LASHO
"request" from ATC.


It's not a request, it's part of a clearance. If you refuse the restriction
to hold short you've also refused the landing clearance. Many pilots seem
genuinely surprised when the ATC response to their refusal of LAHSO is
something other than a clearance to land without the restriction.



Can you readily identify the point that you are to hold short of?


You can if you meet the vision requirements of a Class III or better medical
and are familiar with airport markings and signage as you should be.



Normally a crossing runway and there should be markings on the
landing runway that is your limit.
Is your approach " under control" and you feel you can safely land
and stop before the designated LAHSO limit.
Remember.. you are giving up part of your runway.. and any options of
a go around.. the tower and the other pilot is banking on you being
able to do what you say you will.


Not so. Acceptance of LAHSO does not preclude a go-around.
