Different against LAHSO

Well effectively the same as the whole runway was there but half of it was closed......"


Surely not....

A LAHSO operation involves traffic landing/departing on a runway that is crossing the runway you've been cleared for. You accept the LAHSO on condition that you can stop in the distance before the clearance limit so as to facilitate smooth airport ops for the other traffic in the LAHSO.

Landing on a 'shorter' runway due to other factors = entirely different as no possible conflict with crossing traffic.
