Ask the controller

Explanation:

If a pilot has been given a clearance to land on runway 16 and then told to hold short run way 6, there is no way that the pilot can determine the distance available to him for landing if he does not ask the controller. Hence, the best thing to do is to ask the control for the landing distance, who will have this information available and will relate it to the pilot.
