LAHSO Procedures

*Student* pilots cannot accept LAHSO. As others have said, once you've got a
certificate, no problem.

turn on the landing light just prior to touchdown.
If you don't like what you see, then turn off the landing light."

If you have listened to ATIS (as you should have) it should have
informed you that LAHSO are in efect so you can be prepped for
the request and have time to review the runway lengths and
airport diagram if you want.

But as other posters have stated, it usually no problem for a
typical small GA aircraft (the kind you likely be flying as a PP)
to deal with any LAHSO request you might get. If you are rusty
then practice some short field landings.

On a LAHSO, if i need to go around (which apparently, I can from the
language), do I still need to hold short, i.e. turn crosswind before
approaching the intersection? Do I turn left or right -- is that
cleared up before the decision to go around?

Or if I go around, it it just accepted that a.) we all hope the
conflicting traffic landing doesn't go around and quite the same moment,
and b.) one should think fast and keep their eyes open...

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...

Fly the airplane and do what you need to. It's the tower's problem to keep
everyone going in different directions. They may well instruct you to change
heading (and will, at some point, tell you where to go); until then, they'll
assume you'll fly runway heading.

Yes...but this is no different from usual. See and avoid doesn't go away
just because there's a control tower there.
