Holds

Question 1

What’s the maximum Bank to fly in a hold?

Answer 1

25* or rate 1, whichever is least?

Question 2

What is the timing in a hold?

Answer 2

• • >FL140 - 1.5 min still air

Question 3

Where is the gate in a hold?

Answer 3

40* to the reciprocal of the hold axis (DME~5nm)

Question 4

Parallel join in a hold?

Answer 4

1. What HDG to turn?
2. Which way to turn?
3. Timing adjustment - 0.5 sec/kt HWC/TWC
4. Intercept curve of pursuit? - 15*

Question 5

Offset join in a hold?

Answer 5

1. What HDG to turn into?
2. Which way to turn?
3. No need to compensate track for Wind, but compensate time (0.5 sec per knot)
4. Re intercept using curve of pursuit

Question 6

Direct entry into a hold?

Answer 6

1. Within 40* of hold axis - cross the beacon and turn into the hold
2. >40* coming from inside of hold - roll @ 90* to the hold axis, Fly straight 15s then turn
3. >40* coming from outside of the hold - cross beacon - straight for 15s. then turn into the hold.

Question 7

Flying the hold - what are your actions as you approach the beacon for the first time?

Answer 7

1. Set HDG bug to OUTBD HDG
2. Time - start stopwatch and check running
3. Turn outbound
4. Talk = “C/S, entering hold/ Beacon ID/ Altitude”

Question 8

60* to go in a turn - what’s the remaining bearing to go (nil wind)?

Answer 8

10*

Question 9

30* to go in a turn - what’s the remaining bearing to go (nil wind)?

Answer 9

5*

Question 10

60* to - bearing is in excess of expected. What does it mean?

Answer 10

You are wide - undershoot

Roll W/L - when 10* to go - start turn again

If only small errror - pass 60* to go, W/L on 30* to go - smaller intercept

Question 11

Wind from Holding side - how do you fly?

Answer 11

1. 3*drift ** on OUTBD
2. Timing adjustment on Outbd - 1sec/knot
3. Gate wider than 1*SD
4. 60* to go bigger than 0.5*SD
