All LAHSO additional criteria, procedures, responsibilities and definitions are contained in which document?

• A. FAA Order 7210.3
• B. FAA Order 7050.5
• C. FAA Order 7340.1
• D. FAA Order 7110.118

Answer: (D)

LAHSO stands for Landing and Hold Short Operations, a set of procedures that require careful coordination between pilots and controllers to land on a runway and hold short of a designated point. All the additional criteria, procedures, responsibilities, and definitions for LAHSO are published in FAA Order 7110.118. This order specifically addresses when LAHSO can be offered, how the clearance is issued and accepted, the weather and runway visibility requirements, hold-short point definitions, and the respective duties of both pilots and controllers. It centralizes the guidance needed to apply LAHSO consistently across facilities.

The other orders cover different aspects of air traffic control and do not compile LAHSO-specific guidance, so they are not the official source for LAHSO criteria. That’s why FAA Order 7110.118 is the correct reference for all LAHSO-related details.
