I'm not entirely familiar with the LAHSO procedure myself (never come across it in the UK) but from what I can gather from two posts it's used for intersecting runways both being active and one get's told not to extend the landing run into the other.
On the back of Jerricho's comment about a double go around I was in this situation myself last week where the extended centreline at the upwind end of the runway I was on goes across the runway the other traffic was on, so not technically intersecting runways. I was in a light a/c and the other was also a light (but heaver than me ) a/c and we were VFR so in the go around the rules are see and avoid. If we'd been IFR wouldn't this have compromised separation and so never been given clearance for similtaneous approaches? The other a/c passed directly over me in the go around because I kept my height in check to avoid collision. I just wanted to confirm what would happen with IFR traffic in this situation?
Cheers
