Wow, Frederic! You really spend a lot of time making these graphics and coming up with these tutorials. You could sell this stuff! You could call it FBT for Frederic Based Training! Exclamation!

Part 4. How to " Exit a Holding Pattern " (Second Method) I am HOLDING at REYES but ATC tells me to proceed direct to SADDE. No need for the HOLD page in this case.In the LEGS page I just downselect SADDE to the scratchpad and then upselect it on top of REYES. (see Pic 1) Once I press EXEC the holding pattern is removed. (see Pic 2)( In the pic I haven't executed it yet !!! )

Thanks a bunch for the situations, time to go fly circles in the sky! Practice makes perfect. I always feel rushed when doing a go around or hold. I think this will help me heaps!

Thank you Fred,I have another questio, if you will perform go around with pre-programed holding pattern how you would change the airplane mode following the go around procedures into the holding pattern ?Thanks

Wow, funny this topic should turn up just as I was planning to try out a hold procedure this morning!I went ahead and set up a hold that would require a parallel entry-with the waypoint at the far side of the racetrack as viewed from the approaching aircraft, and the turn direction contrary to the 'natural' direction for entering the hold...so the A/C would have to fly over the waypoint and then outside of and parallel to the inbound leg of the racetrack, in the opposite direction, and then perform a ~225 degree turn into the inbound leg, entering the hold in a kind of figure-eight pattern. Congrats PMDG, immaculate! The NGX performed the maneuvre by the book (I used the Bulfer FMC guide - but I remember reading a german NGX review a week or two ago that mentioned holds were not flown correctly - however, judging from this test, probably the most difficult scenario, that is not true-the reviewers may have used an earlier version though, mine is hotfix 3) - great!
