Q

How are holding procedures located?

A

Located to ensure that an A/C remains clear of the ground and obstructions, ready to continue flight when authorised to do so, either to begin an approach to land or to continue en route

Q

Describe non published Hold

A

ACC Controllers May instruct an aircraft to hold along ATS routes or within defined controlled airspace

These holds may be required due to congestion, and the ATCO will determine the inbound axis and direction of the hold for this purpose

Q

Why hold?

A

In the event of the extended delays, aircraft should be advised of the anticipated delay as early as possible and, when practicable be instructed or given the option to reduce speed en route in order to absorb delay

Reason include
Weather
Traffic management

Q

What is the holding AXIS?

A

The required inbound track to the holding fix. If this is defined by VOR radials, then the axis must lie on one of the radials although it may be orientated towards or away from the relevant VOR.

27
Q

Define Expected Approach Time (EAT)

A time which to expect to leave the hold to commence an instrument approach

28
Q

Define Expected Onward Clearance

A

Time to leave the hold and continue en route

29
Q

How does a pilot adjust his timing within the pattern?

Reducing speed before reaching the fix of a short hold is specified

30
Q

What is a normal separation from a holding pattern

A

5 minutes flying time from flight path of holding a/c

31

Pilots use established error check procedures to reduce effects of operating errors or equipment.
True or False?

A

True

32
Q

What do VFR aircraft hold over?

A

Visual Reference Point (VRP)

33
Q

What are VRPs used for?

A

Assist ATC routing VFR traffic and interesting them with IFR traffic

34
