OPERATOR’S MANUAL
CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A. SECTOR 1 APPROACH - PARALLEL ENTRY
1. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn onto an outbound heading so as to fly a leg parallel to
the inbound leg for a length of approximately 2.6 times the turn radius; and then:
2. Turn left on to the holding side to intercept the inbound track; and then:
3. Upon flying over the holding fix, turn right and follow the holding pattern. If the holding pattern is a left
turn, then the turn directions should be the opposite.
NOTE: The advisory message PARALLEL HOLD ENTRY is displayed as soon as any of the following
conditions are fulfilled:
• five minutes prior to reaching the holding fix while the current aircraft track error is less than 5
degrees, otherwise
• ten seconds prior to the holding fix.
This advisory message may be retriggered at the holding fix if the entry procedure changes from the
time the first advisory is generated and prior to reaching the holding fix.
The message is removed automatically as soon as the holding fix is overflown a second time.
B. SECTOR 2 APPROACH - TEARDROP (OFFSET) ENTRY
1. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn to the heading required to fly a 40° track relative to the
reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side; then:
2. Fly outbound until the turn distance needed to acquire the inbound leg under current wind conditions is
reached; and then:
3. Turn right to intercept the inbound track of the holding pattern.
4. On the second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft will turn right to follow the holding pattern. If the
holding pattern is a left turn, then the turn directions should be the opposite.
NOTE: The advisory message TEARDROP HOLD ENTRY is displayed as soon as either of the following
conditions is fulfilled:
• five minutes prior to reaching the holding fix while the current aircraft track error is less than 5
degrees, otherwise
• ten seconds prior to the holding fix.
This advisory message may be retriggered at the holding fix if the entry procedure changes from the
time the first advisory is generated and prior to reaching the holding fix.
The message is removed automatically as soon as the holding fix is overflown a second time.
