 (Click image for a larger view) | Holding patterns have never been so simple. The Holdup is so easy to use that directions are provided on the device only because rust can develop on a pilot’s holding techniques, especially for issued, nonpublished holds. They remind you how to set up intersection holds and station holds, If you forget. (There’s also a built-in way to set up station holds in a single step.) Then, in both cases, you just find your heading to the fix on the compass dial, and read the entry in the zone next to it. At a typical intersection, there are 8 (eight) possible holds that can be assigned. “Hold south of ORVIL intersection on the 340° radial, left turns?” You won’t believe how easy this is with The Holdup until you try it. |
