k. Holding Patterns.
(1) Holding Pattern Overview. The FMS-
800 holding pattern conforms to the Federal Aviation
Administration
(FAA)
definition
of
RNAV
and
conventional holding pattern guidance, with standard
(right-hand) and non-standard (left-hand) holding
patterns using approved entry flight procedures.
The FMS supports two types of holding pattern
definitions.
1. User-defined
holding
patterns
attached to fixed waypoints by the
user.
2. Published holding patterns that are
derived from published instrument
approach charts.
A holding pattern may be associated with one fixed
waypoint (the holding fix). When the aircraft crosses the
holding fix, holding guidance is activated, suspending
normal leg advance until the holding pattern is canceled.
The parameters that define the holding pattern are
inbound course, turn direction, and pattern length.
(2) Holding Pattern Entry Guidance. An
advisory and steering guidance for the entry method is
computed in accordance with standard FAA procedures.
The geometry for a standard (clockwise) holding pattern
is shown in Figure 3C-71. For left-hand turns, a mirror
image of each entry procedure applies. This advisory is
displayed on the Hold page. Refer to Figure 3C-71 and
Table 3C-54.
