In which group does the CRJ 900 fall for LAHSO operations?

The CRJ 900 is classified in Group 8 for LAHSO operations. This classification is important for understanding the aircraft's performance capabilities and limitations during landing operations with a short runway or complex airspace where a landing may be performed with a hold-short instruction from air traffic control. Group 8 indicates specific characteristics that allow for optimized landing distances and operational efficiencies in various conditions.

Understanding this classification ensures pilots and crews are aware of the procedural and operational standards they need to adhere to, particularly during high-density traffic scenarios or when operating in airports with limited space. Other groups denote different performance characteristics and may apply to different aircraft types or classes, affecting how each can safely conduct LAHSO operations.
