waypoint. When the Hold waypoint is the FAF, be sure you are on the
“TO” side of the waypoint and established inbound before you press
OBS/HLD to resume sequencing. Also, if you are less than 2 nm from
the waypoint when you resume flight plan sequencing, the NMS will
immediately begin the transition to Approach Active.
Press the OBS/HLD button as soon as
you are established inbound when you
want the waypoint to become the FAF
in order to allow as much time for this
transition as possible.
This example shows holding at the FAF, SL (TURNO) for the NDB or
GPS Runway 31 Salem (McNary) Airport (SLE)
Press OBS/HLD to release the hold as
soon as you intercept the inbound
course (point A). This will allow you as
much time as possible for transition to
Approach Active operation. The
waypoint SL (TURNO) becomes the
FAF as soon as the hold is released.
