Also use during ground operations to keep aircraft within a specified area or at a specified point while awaiting further clearance from the air traffic control
Hold procedure
49
Measures designed to adjust the flow of traffic into a given airspace, along a given route, or bound for a given airport, so as to ensure the most effective utilization of airspace
Flow control
50
