Land and Hold Short Operations
{"Image DocumentName": "Land and Hold Short Operations", "Image ImageDescription": "LAHSO. Land and Hold Short Operations. Lighting. The current FAA LAHSO lighting configuration consists of five, six, or seven pulsing white lights installed in the pavement at the hold-short point. The FAA decided on this lighting configuration after conducting a limited study at BOS several years ago. The lights were installed only at four airports in the U.S. The current FAA LAHSO lighting configuration is illustrated in Figure 2. The pulsing white lights indicate the hold-short point. You may not proceed beyond the pulsing white lights without ATC approval. If the lights are installed and operational, they must be turned on. Lights are required for night LAHSO effective April 15, Do not conduct night LAHSO unless the required LAHSO lighting is installed and operating. Lights are not required for day LAHSO until June 8, Be aware that if you decline a LAHSO clearance and are landing full-length on a runway with operational lights, the lights will remain on. Also, if you take off from a runway, the LAHSO lights will be on if LAHSO is in use. If in doubt, verify your clearance with ATC. The FAA has agreed to install the improved FAA LAHSO lighting configuration that includes two sets of lights. A minimum of six in-pavement, continuously illuminated white lights indicate the hold-short point. Again, you may not proceed beyond the hold-short point without ATC approval. The second set of lights consists of a minimum of six in-pavement, pulsing white lights that indicate the alert point. The alert point is approximately 1,000 feet, or 300 meters, in front of the hold-short point. The alert point provides the pilot with a visual warning that only 1,000 feet of runway remain until the hold-short point. This philosophy is consistent with current instrument runway lighting configurations, and should significantly increase the margin of safety. The improved FAA LAHSO lighting configuration is illustrated in Figure 3. The improved configuration is required for day and night LAHSO after June 8, Be aware that if you decline a LAHSO clearance, the lights will remain on. If in doubt, verify your clearance with ATC.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
