PROGRAMMING A HOLDING PATTERN

WARNING: When entering PTs or HP airspace the FMS may not
constrain the airplane from violating maneuvering airspace.
Pilots are responsible for procedural compliance.

This procedure enables the pilot to program a Holding Pattern (HP) at
a specific waypoint.

An HP is automatically programmed from the database when it is part
of an Arrival or Approach procedure.

NOTE: No HP can be programmed at an ARC end point on the final
Approach course manually.

INBOUND CRS - VERI-
FY or INSERT.

NOTE: A verified Inbound Course programs a DIRECT ENTRY pro-
cedure. The system Defaults to the inbound course between the pre-
vious WPT on the FPL and the waypoint at which the hold is desired.
If a Direct TO Leg is displayed on the NAV pages the inbound course
defaults to the leg between the aircraft’s present position and the cur-
rent TO waypoint. When an inserted Inbound Course value is
beyond the DIRECT ENTRY parameters, then a TEARDROP or
PARALLEL pattern is programmed.
