than 3 NM from the landing threshold at the time a departing aircraft:

(a)         commences take-off on the runway to be used by the landing aircraft; or

(b)         crosses the intersection of the runway to be used by the landing aircraft.

10.13.3         Simultaneous Parallel Operations

10.13.3.1     Use by fixed wing aircraft of more than one landing/take-off path in the same direction on the one aerodrome is permissible if, the paths proposed to be used are treated as one runway for separation purposes.

10.13.3.2     The suitability of a landing area for simultaneous parallel landings or take-offs by fixed wing aircraft and the associated control procedures must be established in consultation with CASA.

10.13.4         Training Approaches

10.13.4.1     If an aircraft, person or vehicle within the runway strip on a controlled aerodrome is likely to be overflown by an aircraft making a training approach, the controller must:

(a)         instruct the training aircraft not to descend below:

(i)            the relevant minimum altitude for the approach; or

(ii)          for a practice visual approach — not below 300 ft AGL; and

(b)         pass traffic information to the other aircraft before it enters the flight path over which the approaching aircraft will fly; and

(c)          pass traffic information to persons, including the drivers of vehicles, operating within the runway strip of the runway to be overflown by the aircraft, other than persons operating within the works area associated with a displaced threshold.

10.13.5         Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)

10.13.5.1     Notwithstanding aerodrome separation standards, operations by an aircraft landing on one runway and another aircraft either taking off or landing simultaneously on a crossing runway may be permitted subject to the provisions of LAHSO.

10.13.5.2     LAHSO are to be considered a 'dependent' procedure, with participating aircraft classified as either:

(a)         Active:  when an aircraft is issued a hold short requirement and is alerted about traffic on a crossing runway; or

(b)         Passive:  when an aircraft has unrestricted use of the full runway length and is alerted about traffic on a crossing runway.

10.13.5.3     Active participation in LAHSO is available only to pilots of aircraft in the following categories:

(a)         Australian registered aircraft of performance categories A, B, or C engaged in operations conducted under a training and checking organisation approved under regulation 217 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988, if the operator provides Operations Manual information and certifies participating pilots for LAHSO;

(b)         Australian registered aircraft of performance category A, B, or C, if the pilot holds a log book endorsement for LAHSO;

(c)          Australian military aircraft in performance categories A, B, or C;

(d)         foreign military aircraft in performance categories A, B, or C, if there is a letter of agreement between the relevant military authority
