VFR Holding Suggestions
Maximum Endurance…ESTABLISH
Fuel…CHECK
Note: Note the fuel endurance at the beginning of the flight and subtract the total flight time so far.
Subtract the time required to continue to a suitable destination and land including required reserves to
determine minimum required fuel when leaving the hold. Any remaining endurance will be available for
holding.
IFR Holding Suggestions
Hold as per IFR procedures.
Note: Pre-flight planning should indicate the amount of fuel required to fly to destination, then
alternate, plus all reserves and allowances required for IFR flight. Any fuel carried in excess of this
amount is available for holding. However, this amount must be reduced by the amount of fuel used by
any delays already encountered during the flight or now expected due to unforeseen conditions.
