LAHSO cannot be accepted when the aircraft is under which altitude AGL?

• A. 1,000 feet AGL
• B. 0 feet AGL
• C. 2,000 feet AGL
• D. 500 feet AGL

Answer: (A)

LAHSO means Land and Hold Short Operations, where you land and stop before a designated point on the runway. To safely accept such a clearance, you need enough altitude to decelerate, verify you can stop in time, and, if necessary, perform a go-around without risking obstacles or other traffic. That safety margin is not available below a certain altitude, so LAHSO cannot be accepted when you are under 1,000 feet above the ground. Being at or above 1,000 feet AGL provides the needed energy and runway margin to comply safely. At 2,000 feet AGL you’re well within a safe range, while being at 0 or 500 feet AGL is below the minimum and not permitted.
