Holding Entry
Airplane track to the holding fix determines the entry type; direct, teardrop, or
parallel. To make efficient use of the holding airspace, lateral guidance may direct
the initial turn to the holding pattern prior to crossing the holding fix (fly-by). The
holding entry path displays on the ND. For all holding entry types, lateral
guidance directs the airplane to fly-by or fly-over the holding fix and to remain on
the holding side of the inbound holding course. Depending on the entry track for
a direct entry, the flight path may extend slightly beyond the displayed outbound
holding turn. For teardrop and parallel entries, the flight path remains within the
confines of the depicted holding pattern displayed on the ND. Remaining within
the prescribed holding airspace requires the airplane to be at holding airspeed at
the holding fix.
Hold Page (First Hold)
The hold page is used to enter a holding pattern in the route.
When the flight plan does not contain a holding pattern, pushing the HOLD
function key displays the RTE X LEGS page with the HOLD AT line.
Two versions of the hold page are possible:
• an airway or procedure holding pattern
• a flight crew–entered holding pattern
The holding page displays actual or default data about the holding pattern.
Entries modify the route. Modifications can be erased or executed.
Active holding patterns are magenta on the ND.
