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:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“If there is nothing new on the earth, still the traveler always has a resource in the skies. They are constantly turning a new page to view. The wind sets the types on this blue ground, and the inquiring may always read a new truth there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
Senile fudge and solemn:
Spare, editor, to condemn
These dry leaves of his autumn.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
