4SPOOLED, I did mine about 2 years back now and was required then to do a practical examination as set out below:
1.5 The practical check must be conducted in an aeroplane at an aerodrome at
which LAHSO are authorised or in a synthetic flight trainer approved by
CASA as suitable for that purpose. LAHSO need not be in use at an
aerodrome during the test if the appropriate procedures are simulated by the
person conducting the check.
CAO40, Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 set it all out. Sorry for the thread drift...
