HOLD Page

The holding function is used to insert a holding pattern with a pilot-controlled

termination into the flight plan or to modify an existing holding pattern. The

holding pattern may be inserted at any waypoint or the FROM waypoint for

holding at present position. A revision at an existing holding fix is permitted. Any

inserted change becomes effective upon the crossing of the holding fix. Changes

are activated immediately if made on the active leg prior to entry of the holding

pattern. The HOLD page is accessed by pushing LSK 2R on the LAT REV page.

Titles can be as follows:

HOLD AT (waypoint or PPOS). Previously modified holding pattern or pilot

defined holding already defined for the waypoint. PPOS is a special case FROM

waypoint holding page.

DATABASE HOLD AT (waypoint). Enroute holding pattern defines from the

nav database.

STANDARD HOLD AT (waypoint). Holding pattern parameters were defaulted

by the FMS.

The default speed for a holding pattern inserted into flight plan is max endurance,

subject to applicable ICAO or FAA speed limitations. This speed may be changed

via F-PLN page.

WARNING:

The flight crew has the final responsibility to ensure that

the aircraft stays within limits of the holding airspace.

Line 1L INB CRS. Holding pattern course defaults to: 1. Database or pilot-defined

holding pattern inbound course. 2. Inbound course from flight plan. 3. Current

Line 3L TRIP. FMC calculated trip fuel from the holding fix to destination.

Line 4L RTE RSV/%. Route reserve fuel from the holding fix to the destination.
