What is a required condition for making LAHSO operations?

In LAHSO (Land and Hold Short Operations), a critical requirement is that a specific runway length must be available to ensure that the aircraft can safely land and hold short of intersecting runways, taxiways, or other aircraft. This requirement is essential for preventing runway incursions and ensuring the safety of operations, as it dictates both the approach path and the distance to the hold short line.

The length of the runway allows for sufficient stopping distance after landing, which is particularly important when simultaneous operations are underway at nearby runways. If the available runway is too short, it could compromise safety, as the aircraft may not have enough distance to stop effectively before reaching the hold short point.

Other conditions, while they may pertain to operational safety, are not strictly required for LAHSO operations in the same fundamental way as the runway length requirement. This focus on runway availability is paramount in maintaining the safety and efficiency of these operations.
