Land and Hold Short Operations

In high density traffic and when winds permit, Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) might be used. The only configuration of runways which can be used during times like these are runways 09/27 and 34. Runway 09/27 is the passive runway with a length of 2,256m and runway 34 is the active runway with a shortened length of 2,638m. It will be advised in the ATIS if LAHSO is currently being used and you will be asked if you are able to hold short. If you are unsure, refuse the LAHSO clearance.
