Alternatively, use an insert cursor by positioning it where you
want to insert a hold in your flight plan. Push in the bottom right
AeroNav knob or touch the position on the glass. Note that a hold
is available via the drop down list. Scroll up or down the
dropdown list as required and push the bottom right knob or touch
the hold option in the list to insert a hold flight plan leg.
TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
Using Holding Patterns
The hold pattern leg type has a field for the inbound
course to the hold waypoint. The hold pattern turns
left or right as specified in the hold pattern at the
hold waypoint. For example, if ATC issues a “Hold
east of <waypoint>”, a hold course of 270° should be
entered in the hold leg.
The nav database may contain multiple published holding
patterns for a given fix (e.g. enroute hold, high altitude hold, low
altitude hold, SID hold, STAR hold, etc). The FMS will use a
standard hold pattern when there is no defined published hold.
For those fixes that have multiple published holds associated with
them, a dropdown menu will be presented showing the various
hold patterns, thereby allowing you to choose the desired or
assigned hold pattern (course, turn direction, and leg length/time).
Once a published hold has been inserted, when the FMS cursor
is on one of the hold parameters, the L3 LSK will display
“Standard Hold”. Pressing that LSK will change the parameters
to be standard (right turns, 1 min legs, and an inbound course
matching the course of the leg before the hold). If any of the
parameters are different from what is published, the LSK will then
display “Hold As Published” and pressing the LSK will restore the
original parameters. Note that this only applies to holds that are
inserted versus holds that are defined as a leg in a terminal area
procedure, the most common case being a course reversal on an
approach – for those holds, there’s no “Standard Hold” LSK since
it’s unlikely this would be a desired course of action. If however,
a hold parameter is manually changed, the “Hold As Published”
LSK does appear.
