Two planes on the same runway

Would this be considered LAHSO because you are requiring yourself to stop by a certain point on the runway? Or does LAHSO only apply to intersecting runways?

had a controller tell me to go around because a 172 was doing a snail taxi after he landed to "his" taxi way turn off and we had 3000' between us. Next attempt was told to go around because a Waco was taking his sweet time to get off the runway atleast 3000' as well, finally a new controller took over and cleared me to land behind a 757 on a differnet runway..."cessnaxxx cleared to land 35 if you can make taxiway bravo, oh and caution wake turbulence." I guess they have their days too...

The original question was, I think, about normal operations at a controlled airport wherein Airplane A lands behind Airplane B -- with 3000' or more anticipated distance between them (see the references in earlier posts). It doesn't require special instructions for either aircraft.

LAHSO applies to intersecting runways, and would include HOLD SHORT OF instructions and meet various other criteria.

LAHSO operations are built around the potential for collision caused by decreasing separation. Normal runway separation distances are for in-trail landings on a single runway, where the following aircraft will not overtake the leading aircraft; IOW the risk of collision is negligible.

<edit to add for almerick: everyone assumes the airplane you're following will exit the runway in a timely fashion -- there's always the occasional bonehead who screws up the plan.>

On a similar note at the same airport different controller a 737 was directed to land and hold short of runway 3 (they meet at the very end making somewhat of a V) and the pilot responded, "cleared to land 35 and if i dont hold short of 3 we're going to have a bigger problem." (would have been in the drink).

<edit to add for 81: Oh I know, atleast the 757 hustled to the end of the runway lol>

Just use common sense. I landed over a DC8 once in Columbia after diverting to Panama City because of thunderstorms. He elected to land with a 20 knot tailwind and blew his tires. They still hadn't cleared the first 2000 feet of a 10000 foot runway 3 hrs. later when I returned. The tower never even mentioned the DC8 but if you don't bend metal they don't care down there. Not saying it was a good idea but it was safe.
