Q

What is a procedure turn?

What are the two types?

A

a manoeuvre in which a turn is made away from a designated track followed by a turn in the opposite direction to permit the aircraft to intercept and proceed along the reciprocal of the designated track

Two types are the 45/180 and 80/260 procedure turns

Offest entry

26
Q

Q

Describe a sector 1 hold entry

A

28
Q

Describe a sector 2 hold entry

A

At the fix follow a track 30 degrees offset to the left of the reciprocal of the inbound track, then at required time or distance, turn right to join inbound track to the fix

29
Q

Describe a sector 3 hold entry

A

Fly directly to the fix and then turn right to start the outbound sector
