Takeoff, alternate and surface information

Takeoff minimums are published for KALO. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
Non standard alternate minimums are published: if you file KALO as an IFR alternate, the required forecast is higher than the default 600-2 for precision or 800-2 for non precision approaches. Check the alternate rule tool.
Land and hold short operations (LAHSO) are conducted here. The plate lists which runway intersections and the available landing distance for each; a pilot may always decline a LAHSO clearance.
