6. Sometimes construction,
maintenance, or other
activities require the
threshold to be relocated
towards the rollout end of the
runway.

Land and Hold Short Clearances (LAHSO) are
issued by ATC at towered airports to increase
efficiency
• Hold short points can be:
– Intersecting runway.
– Intersecting taxiway.
– Other designated hold short point.
• Pilots must stop the aircraft prior to reaching the
designated hold short point.
– Failure to do so may compromise safety.
– The pilot has the option to decline a LAHSO clearance
when issued.

16. • Pilot has final authority to accept LAHSO
• Become familiar with LAHSO operations at destination prior
to departure
– Consult A/FD
• In the event of a rejected landing, maintain safe separation
and notify ATC immediately
• Readback all LAHSO clearances in full
– Do not make controller ask for a readback
• Maintain situational awareness
– Have airport diagram and ALD info available
• Brief other cockpit crewmembers
• Pilots should only be issued LAHSO clearances with ceilings
at least 1,000’ and visibility 3 SMCreated By: Edwin A. Pitty

17. Airport lighting may include one or more of the following:
– Airport beacon
– Visual glideslope indicators
– Runway lighting
• Edge lighting
• Runway centerline lighting
• Touchdown zone lighting
• Taxiway lead-off lights
– Taxiway lighting
• Edge lighting
• Taxiway centerline lighting
– Approach lighting system
– Obstruction lighting Created By: Edwin A. Pitty

19. Visual glideslope indicators are light systems
which indicate your position in relation to the
desired glide path to the runway
– Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI)
– Tricolor VASI
– Pulsating Approach Path Indicator (PLASI)
– Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI)

20. • Normally set at 3 glide path
• Safe obstruction clearance within 10 of center-line
and 4 NM
• Visible from 3-5 miles (day) and 20 miles (night)

21. • Three-bar VASI provides two glide paths
– Near and middle bars same as 2 bar VASI
– Middle and far bars form an upper glide path for
large aircraft
• ¼ degree steeper than first VASI set
• 700 feet beyond middle bars

24. • Single light unit projecting a two color visual
approach path
• Range is 4 miles (day) and 10 miles (night)

25. • Obstructions not in the vicinity of an airport
– Red or white beacons and/or flashing lights are
used to mark man-made obstructions and hazards
to aerial navigation
• Airport obstruction lighting
– Steady red lights mark obstructions and hazards
in the vicinity of an airport
• Includes end-of-runway lights

30. • AC 91-73A
– Five major categories:
• Planning
• Situational Awareness
• Use of Written Taxi Instructions
• ATC/Pilot Communications
• Taxiing
• AC 120-74A
– Adds one more category:
• Intra-Flightdeck/Cockpit Verbal Coordination
