HOLDING
Holding is a procedure wich is designed to delay an aircraft for approach or to delay an aircraft en
route in order to provide IFR separation from other IFR traffic.
When an aircraft is cleared to hold, it must manoeuvre within prescribed airspace. This airspace can
be defined by using time for the outbound leg in the holding patern, DME distances within which
the procedure must take place or fixes derived from other facilities.
If a holding has to be timed and the aircraft is manoeuvring at or below FL 140 an outbound leg of
1 minute from abeam the station or fix to the gate has to be flown. Above FL 140 the outbound leg
is extended by 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds.
Holding instruction may be given by ATC at the destination to facilitate approach sequences or
en route to separate IFR traffic.
When an aircraft is cleared to hold, ATC must provide the following informations:
— Specify the holding fix
— Specify the inbound track of the holding pattern if not published
— Specify standard or non-standard pattern if not published
— Specify altitude or FL
— Specify the expected approach time or the expected further clearance time if en route.
The instructions given by ATC must be acknowledged. Crossing the holding fix must be reported
to ATC.
Holding patterns when published on the approach charts (Jeppesen) are drawn with a fine line
showing a rectrack in contrast to reversal procedures, which are drawn with a bold line and
incorporated in the initial approach segment.

Entry
Variations of the basic procedure to meet local conditions may be authorized by States after
appropriate consultation with the operators concerned.
The entry into the holding pattern shall be according to heading in relation to the three entry
sectors shown below, recognizing a zone of flexibility of 5° on either side of the sector voundaries.
70° 70°
Standard Holding Pattern (to the left) Non-Standard Holding Pattern (to the right)
For holding on a VOR intersection, the entry track is limited to the radials forming the intersection.
For holding on a VOR/DME fix, the entry track is limited to either the VOR radial, DME arc, or
alternatively along the radial to a VOR/DME fix at the end of the outbound leg, as published.
Note: A DME arc entry a procedure is specified only when there is a specific operational difficulty
which precludes the use of other entry procedures.
FNPT II 32 — 70
SECTOR 1: Direct Entry
— Having reached the fix, the aircraft is turned right to follow the holding pattern.
— Having reached the fix, the aircraft is turned left onto a heading to make good a track making
a angle of 30° from the reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side,
— then the aircraft will fly outbound: for the appropriate periode of time, where timing is
specified, or
until the appropriate limiting distance in atteined, where
distance is specified, or
where a limiting radial is also specified, either until the
limiting DME distance is atteined or until the limiting
radial is encountered, whichever occurs first
— then the aircraft is turned right to intercept the inbound holding track
— then on second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft is turned right to follow the holding
pattern
— Having reached the fix, the aircraft is turned left onto an outbound heading for the appropriate
period of time or until reaching the DME limiting outbound distance, if published
— then the aircraft is turned left onto the holding side to intercept the inbound track or to return
to the fix
— then on second arrival over the holding fix, the aircraft is turned right to follow the holding
pattern

DME Arc Entry
Having reached the fix, the aircraft shall enter the holding pattern in accordance with either the
Sector 1 or Sector 3 entry procedures.
In an entry radial to a secondary fix at the end of the outbound leg of a VOR/DME holding pattern
is specified: Sector 1 and Sector 2 entries are not authorized.
The holding pattern shall be entered directly using the published entry radial or the Sector 3 entry
procedure.
Having reached the fix, the aircraft shall be turned right to follow the holding pattern.

PROCEDURE TURN
Objectiv: to operate a 180° after a station to fly back to the fix; usually to perform an approach
in opposite direction
FNPT II 43 — 70
45° / 180° Procedure Turn
1. After station passage fly outbound on the published QDR for the prescribed time, the
prescribed distance or to the prescribed fix or intersection.
If the QDR has to be intercepted after station passage, add 10-15 seconds to this
outbound leg.
2. After time has elapsed or the before mentioned distance or fix is reached, turn towards the
manoeuvring side of the approach area to a heading 45 degrees off the outbound track.
3. Start timing as soon as you leave the outbound track (1 minute for Aircraft Cat. A and B,
1 minute 15 seconds for other Aircraft)
4. Approaching the end of the timed periode, compare the difference of the actual and the
required QDM inbound. This enables the pilot to choose the rate of turn needed for the
following manoeuvre.
5. Proceed now with a turn away from the station to a reciprocal heading which will intercept
the inbound track at 45-degree angle
6. Intercept the desired QDM to the station and adjust for drift

80° / 260° Procedure Turn
1. After station passage fly outbound on the published QDR for the prescribed time, the
prescribed distance or to the prescribed fix or intersection.
If the QDR has to be intercepted after station passage, add 10-15 seconds to this outbound
leg.
2. After time has elapsed or the before mentioned distance or fix is reached, turn 80 degrees
towards the manoeuvring side of the approach area and follow this turn with a 260-degree
turn in the opposite direction. If a drift correction had to be applied while tracking outbound,
apply the 80-degree turn to the wind heading.
3. Towards completion of the 260-degree turn, roll out to the required wind heading. If the turn
is distorted, intercept QDM inbound in the normal manner then apply the necessary wind
correction.

Racetrack Procedure
This procedure is usually published in order to facilitate traffic arriving from different
direction.
A racetrack pattern can be standard, which means that all turns in the pattern are to the right
or, non-standard meaning all turns in the pattern are to the left.
The outbound leg in the racetrack pattern is limited by either time, DME distance or by a fix
or intersection.
Three procedures called “entry procedures” are available for guidance into the racetrack
pattern. Depending on the direction of flight of the arriving aircraft over the station they are
referred to as:
- The direct entry procedure
- The offset entry procedure
- The parallel entry procedure
Each procedure is afforded protection if flown correctly. A zone of flixibility of 5 degrees on
the either side of the sectors is permitted.

THE
V R
FNPT II 48 — 70
The VOR
(VHF OMNI-DIRECTIONAL RADIO RANGE)
A VOR station emanates an infinite number of courses of wich, for practica purposes, 360 are used.
These “courses” are referred to as radials and are measured from magnetic north clockwise at the
ground station.
Ÿ A radial is always a magnetic direction indicating away from the station
Ÿ To proceed on a radial means tracking outbound FROM the station
Ÿ To proceed on a radial to the station means tracking inbound TO the facility on the reciprocal
of said radial
Common phraseology used today eradicate any ambiguity and is clearly expressed in the following
examples:
