Narrative:

ATC facility: msp. Recent changes to flight manual part ii require accurate lahso information to be looked up on both the air carrier 10-7 pages and the commercial 10-9A or 11-1 pages. The 1-7 pages refer crews to look at the 10-9 pages for balked landing procedures. This leads to confusion because the 10-9 pages list all -- repeat all lahso alds even if they are not approved. Second, in almost all cases, the balked landing instructions do not -- repeat do not reduce the chance of an intersection collision in case of a balked landing and only fill the square of having a procedure in place. Air carrier should refrain from lahso's at any location that the balked landing procedure fails to insure separation as required by the FAA.
