Holding Pattern Entries Made Easy

Learn how to enter holding patterns

[nolanhawthorne]

So much easier explaining it this way whether steam gauge or glass cockpit! Thank you for simplifying a task that traditionally gives students anxiety when executing a holding pattern.

Literally the easiest explanation of holding patterns I've ever seen. Thanks!

When doing tear drops I remember the acronym LARS. Left add, right subtract. Left holding pattern add 30 degrees to out bound course and for right turns subtract 30 degrees from the outbound course and track that for a minute before turning.

This is by far the video that explains it better and more straight forward.

Thanks for a nice and simple explanation on holdings! I'm doing this now on my IFR training and believe it's kind of confusing! Thanks again!

[rackum]

Thanks I've watched a couple videos on this and this was definitely the easiest to understand

Best instruction on HP entries - thanks.

[PROFESSIONAPILOT]

EXCELLENT EXAMPLES AND EXPLANATION!. THANK YOU.

This is the best explanation I have seen on this subject.

And just remember to stay on the "safe side" of the hold and you will be legal and safe.  Just keep crossing the VOR or fix and you'll be fine. Those safe sides are like 4 miles wide and 10 miles long, so as along as you are on the correct side, it doesn't matter how pretty your track looks. The better you fly it, the better your positional awareness will be .

That video made entries so easy to understand! Thanks a lot guys.

This helped me so much as a CFI! Thank you!!

Nice graphics in this video. Good idea about visualizing the VOR in the center of the DG. I like the golden racetrack magically appearing. This procedure is easy to remember when you're driving to the Fix and creating your own golden racetrack. It reminded me of Golden Freddy in FNAF. Just remember he can't GET YOU if you follow the instructions and stay on the protected side of the hold.

Love how you used the bad day at JFK atc audio for the intro lol :) nice video

[lrjvuks]

So crazy I'm in Ocala listening to this.

This technique also works by using the CDI. After the OBS is selected on a course direct to the fix it is essentially oriented the same way as your heading indicator. So if your heading indicator fails you can still use this technique.

[shraviator]

Would’ve been nice to see different examples of this with aircraft headings other than due north... does this method work regardless of where your HI is pointed?

[DMacDaddy]

Yo… that jingle at the start of your bid is a banger. What’s it called?

its easy to undestand with your vid
thanks
