Holding Procedures Flashcards
Stack separation
1000ft
What is “shuttled”
Descending in the stack
Who is responsible for the hold
Approach controller
What is the direction of hold in a standard holding pattern a aerodrome
Right
What is the direction of hold in a non standard holding pattern a aerodrome
Left
What is the holding directing for a non standard holding point
Right
En route
POINT not pattern
What is the angle of bank for a holding turn
25° or rage 1 turn which ever is less bank
What do pilots need to make allowances for in the hold
Maintain heading and timing
Where do outbound timings for a hold begin
Over or abeam a fix whichever is later
What is the timings for a hold below 14,000ft
1 minute
Unless DME turning point
What is the timings for a hold above 14,000ft
1.5 minutes
Unless DME turning point published
In normal conditions what is the hold speed up to 14,000ft
230 knots
170 for class A and B ac only
In normal conditions what is the hold speed above 14,000ft
240knots
In turbulent conditions above 14,000ft what is the holding speed
280 knots
In turbulent conditions what is the holding speed below 14,000ft
280 knots
170knots for class A and B aircraft
What is the speed in the hold dependent on
Height and met conditions
What is the joining of a holding pattern based on
Magnetic heading
5° flexibility area either side of each sector
What is a parallel entry (sector 1)
Over nav air and out the outbound track then rate 1 turn back to join hold
What is a offset entry (sector 2)
Offset track by 30° then turn to join hold
When is holding level needed to be established before reaching a fix
At least 5 nm
At lowest holding altitude (LHA) what is MOC
300m
600m over mountainous areas
What is the buffer zone for a hold
5nm wide
Where MOC decreases to zero at extremities
