Types
There are three main types of LAHSO.
- LAHSO of Intersecting Runway: In this LAHSO, a landing plane is instructed to land and hold on the runway before the intersection of it and another runway, which will have another aircraft taking off or landing when they arrive.
- LAHSO of Intersecting Taxiway: In this LAHSO, a landing plane is instructed to land and hold on the runway before the intersection of it and a taxiway, which will have other aircraft taxiing for takeoff or parking when they arrive.
- LAHSO of Point on Runway: In this LAHSO, a landing plane is instructed to land and hold on the runway before a designated point. This form of LAHSO is the newest, and is used when safety precautions are needed due to hazards concerning other runways, taxiways, or any of a number of other hazards for a landing plane that may be present on their runway (ice, for instance).
Requirement for LAHSO: Pilots should only receive a LAHSO clearance when there is a minimum ceiling of 1,000 feet and 3 statute miles visibility. The intent of having "basic" VFR weather conditions is to allow pilots to maintain visual contact with other aircraft and ground vehicle operations.

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
—Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
“The rank and file have let their servants become their masters and dictators.... Provision should be made in all union constitutions for the recall of leaders. Big salaries should not be paid. Career hunters should be driven out, as well as leaders who use labor for political ends. These types are menaces to the advancement of labor.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
