Where can a pilot find Available Landing Distances (ALD) when LAHSO is in effect?

Available Landing Distances (ALD) are critical for pilots to determine safe landing performance when a Landing Aircraft to a Hold Short Operation (LAHSO) is in effect. The appropriate resource for finding ALD is the Airport/Facility Directory (A/FD).

The A/FD provides comprehensive information about airports, including runway lengths, operational procedures, and other pertinent details that inform flight planning and operations, especially concerning LAHSO situations. This document is updated regularly, ensuring that pilots have access to the most accurate and up-to-date data regarding runway availability and conditions.

While other documents such as the Flight Operations Manual, Aircraft Flight Handbook, and Pilot Operating Handbook may contain useful information related to flight operations and aircraft performance, they do not specifically provide the ALD in conjunction with LAHSO operations. The A/FD is tailored to present that airport-centric information which is especially relevant for making decisions during approach and landing when LAHSO is in effect.
