With EFC TIME entry, displays time the airplane will pass the holding fix after
the EFC time. The FMC uses this time to calculate downtrack ETAs and fuel
values based on departing the holding fix at the new FIX ETA.
Normally displays dashes.
Valid entry is XXXX (time).
Entry changes performance predictions for the route after holding.
Displays holding time available before requiring reserve fuel to reach the
destination.
Displays the best holding speed for the airplane gross weight, altitude, and flap
setting.
Note: May exceed ICAO limit speed.
HOLD Page (Existing Hold)
When one or more holding patterns exist in the route, push the HOLD key to
display the hold page for the first holding pattern. When the hold is the next LNAV
event, active commands display in magenta. Holding parameters can be
monitored and changed on this page. New holding patterns are added using the
NEXT HOLD prompt.
Most holding patterns are part of a procedure or airway and remain active until the
flight crew executes an exit from holding. This may be accomplished in one of two
ways:
• on the ACT RTE LEGS page, deleting or bypassing the HOLD AT
waypoint causes LNAV to command a direct to the next waypoint
• on the ACT RTE HOLD page, selecting and executing EXIT HOLD>
causes LNAV to command the airplane to continue in the holding pattern
until arriving at the holding fix, at which time the airplane exits the holding
pattern
Following execution of the exit hold, only the remaining portion of the holding
pattern back to the holding fix displays. Exit from the holding pattern may occur
prior to crossing the holding fix (“fly-by”) if the course to the next waypoint is not
closely aligned with the holding inbound course. The exiting flight path remains
within the confines of the protected holding airspace. The exit flight path displays
on the ND.
