I did some checking on LAHSO, primarily because I was surprised by the
no-go-arounds and the no experimentals rules.
The current AIM says, "A LAHSO clearance does not preclude a rejected
landing." and, "If a rejected landing becomes necessary after accepting a LAHSO
clearance, the pilot should maintain safe separation from other aircraft or
vehicles, and should promptly notify the controller."
On the subject of whether experimental aircraft are prohibited. An
older document says they are prohibited, something about "certificated landing
distance". The current AIM doesn't mention experimental
aircraft, but does prohibit student pilots, or anyone not familiar with the
procedures, for conducting LAHSO operations.
FAR Part 91 doesn't mention anything about LAHSO in the experimental
aircraft operating limitations.
I did notice when I researched the topic that there is a lot of old
information on the subject floating around on the Internet. At one point
in the LAHSO development there was a grouping of aircraft by landing
distance. That was dropped. Now the "Pilot may accept such a
clearance provided that the pilot-in-command determines that the aircraft can
safely land and stop within the Available Landing Distance (ALD)." I also
found a Powerpoint presentation that says "experimental aircraft are
prohibited".
So....... best I can tell...... you can do go-arounds and land
experimental aircraft under LAHSO.
Let the corrections begin! :-)
