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!

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!
