Holding Patterns PDF Download

While there are many books that include basic information on the topic of instrument holding procedures, none have previously dedicated more than a single chapter to it. Pilots and aviation instructors often pull information from multiple books in an effort to fully understand the procedures and rules related to holding procedures. Even then, these resources fail to fully explain the FAA's holding procedures and leave many questions unanswered. Moreover, the proliferation of satellite based systems has only increased the complexity of air navigation, as pilots attempt to integrate new technology with existing systems. This book includes chapters which fill the gaps in the existing literature and explain the roll of new technology. The information here will provide a solid understanding of both the FAA's expectations and the techniques required to achieve a successful holding pattern. Topics covered include: -Basics of instrument holding -Solutions to complex holds -Dealing with high winds -Solving unexpected issues -Holding with glass cockpit aircraft
