I'll agree with Steve's reply..
There is not log book endorsement for LAHSO.
You as the pilot can either choose to accept or deny the LASHO "request"
from ATC.
Can you readily identify the point that you are to hold short of? Normally a
crossing runway and there should be markings on the landing runway that is
your limit.
Is your approach " under control" and you feel you can safely land and stop
before the designated LAHSO limit.
Remember.. you are giving up part of your runway.. and any options of a go
around.. the tower and the other pilot is banking on you being able to do
what you say you will.

If it's your home airport, you may be familiar with it. If it's not your
home.. it's your decision.
Is the tower asking you to LAHSO and taking the last 2,000ft of a 10,000ft
runway.. leaving you 8,000ft to land and stop in your C-172?
Or is he taking 2000ft from a 5000ft runway and leaving you only 3000ft. Not
an issue to land most light GA aircraft in 3000ft.
But if you accept it.. the pressure is on to perform.

I have a question that has come up in another newsgroup, that I have
always wondered about. When I received my flight training, my instructor
told me not to accept any Land And Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
instructions from ATC until I had received training in those procedures -
which I never did. Does a licensed pilot (not a student) have to be
officially "certified" to perform any LAHSO procedures? And if so, how
does one go about becoming certified? Or can any licensed pilot perform
LAHSO procedures, as long as he has first received training in said
procedures? If that is the case, how does ATC know that a pilot has
received LAHSO training? Does ATC just assume that if a pilot accepts
LAHSO instruction, that the pilot is familiar and has been trained in
those procedures? Is LAHSO procedure training something that just needs to
be logged in your logbook and endorsed by a CFI? Just curious...
