- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance
item that alters the landing speed or deceleration rate during the landing roll affects the landing distance. The effect of gross weight on landing distance is one of the principal items determining the landing distance. One effect of an increased ... gross weight is that a greater speed is required to support the aircraft at the landing AOA and lift coefficient. For an example of the effect of a change in gross weight, a 21 percent increase in landing weight requires…
- Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Airport Markings and Signs › Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) When simultaneous operations (takeoffs and landings) are being conducted on intersecting runways, Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) may also be in effect. LAHSO is an ATC procedure that may require your participation ... have the final authority to accept or decline any LAHSO clearance. Figure 14-15. Runway distance remaining sign indicating that there is 2,000 feet of runway remaining. If issued a land and hold short clearance, you must be aware…

respect to ATC clearances, means aircraft whose altitude, position, and intentions are known to ATC. L LAA- (See LOCAL AIRPORT ADVISORY.) LAANC- (See LOW ALTITUDE AUTHORIZATION AND NOTIFICATION CAPABILITY.) LAHSO- (See LAND AND HOLD SHORT OPERATIONS.) LAND AND HOLD SHORT ... OPERATIONS- Operations that include simultaneous takeoffs and landings and/or simultaneous landings when a landing aircraft is able and is instructed by the controller to hold short of an intersecting runway or taxiway, a predetermined point, or an approach/departure flightpath. Pilots…
- Chapter 12: Night Operations › Night Flight › Illusions Leading to Landing Errors
Outside visual references for airspeed and rate of closure may not be available, especially when landing in an unlit area, so pay special attention to the airspeed indicator. Although the landing light is a helpful aid when making night approaches ... there is an inherent disadvantage. The portion of the landing area illuminated by the landing light seems higher than the dark area surrounding it. This effect can cause a pilot to terminate the approach at an altitude that…

Lighting Systems Certain light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems fall outside the combined visible and near-infrared spectrum of night vision goggles (NVGs) and thus will not be visible to a flightcrew using NVGs. The FAA changed specifications ... based red obstruction lights to make them visible to pilots using certain NVG systems, however, other colors may not be visible. It is recommended that air carriers/operators—including part 91 operators—who use NVGs incorporate procedures into manuals and/or standard…
- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-11. Pilot Responsibilities When Conducting Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
pilot-in-command has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short clearance. The safety and operation of the aircraft remain the responsibility of the pilot. Pilots are expected to decline a LAHSO clearance if they ... compromise safety. 4. To conduct LAHSO, pilots should become familiar with all available information concerning LAHSO at their destination airport. Pilots should have, readily available, the published ALD and runway slope information for all LAHSO runway combinations at each airport…
