airport operationsFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)
What is the rule for a pilot receiving a "Land and Hold Short Operation (LAHSO) clearance?"
A
The pilot is required to accept the controller's clearance in visual meteorological conditions.
B
The pilot must accept the clearance if the pavement is dry and the stopping distance is adequate.
C
The pilot has the option to accept or reject all LAHSO clearances regardless of the meteorological conditions.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
AIM 4-3-11 leaves the decision with the pilot in command: pilots are expected to decline a LAHSO clearance whenever they judge it would compromise safety, and to tell ATC promptly. Nothing obliges a pilot to accept one in VMC or because the runway is dry; once accepted, however, the hold-short clearance must be complied with.
