LAHSO PROCS QUESTIONED BY AN ACR PLT ARRIVING ON RWY 27R AT ORD; IL.

Narrative

OUR OPS MANUAL PROHIBITS LAHSO OPS. I DON'T ACCEPT CLRNCS TO LAND AND HOLD SHORT OF ANOTHER RWY. PASSIVE LAHSO WAS A GRAY AREA UP UNTIL RECENTLY. ORD ATIS STATED THAT ACFT UNABLE/UNWILLING TO PARTICIPATE IN LAHSO SHOULD NOTIFY APCH AS SUCH ON INITIAL CONTACT. DOES THIS MEAN ALL ACFT? DOES THIS MEAN ACR ACFT WITHOUT A 'LOA' PERMITTING LAHSO? TO WHAT DEGREE; IF ANY; IS ANY CTLING AUTH FAMILIAR/AWARE OF RESTRS PER OPS SPECS? DOES A LAHSO RESTR INCLUDE BOTH ACTIVE AND PASSIVE PARTICIPATION? ON A BEAUTIFUL; CLR NIGHT; WE WERE CLRED FOR A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 27R AT O'HARE. CONTACTING TWR NEAR THE FAF; WE WERE CLRED TO LAND; AND TOLD THAT TFC LNDG ON RWY 22R WOULD HOLD SHORT OF OUR RWY. BASED ON EXCELLENT PREVAILING CONDITIONS AND NOT BEING ASKED TO HOLD SHORT OF ANY RWY; I ACCEPTED THE CLRNC TO LAND. WE LANDED; AND TURNED OFF SHORT OF RWY 22R ANYWAY; AND THE ORDERLY CHAOS THAT IS O'HARE ON A BUSY EVENING CONTINUED WITHOUT PAUSE. UPON ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION ON THIS ISSUE FROM OUR RESIDENT LAHSO 'GURU;' SHE INFORMED ME (TO PARAPHRASE): 'ANY LAHSO IS BAD LAHSO.' STARTING TODAY; I WILL INFORM ATL ON INITIAL CONTACT WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT ANY FORM OF LAHSO; AND DECLINE ANY SUBSEQUENT CLRNC CONTAINING THE WORDS '...LAND AND HOLD SHORT.'
