Question about holding patterns.

[Guest Paragon]

I was looking at the approach into Zurich rwy 14, and there is a holding at EKRIT intersection, but it doesn't specify a leg time or leg distance. Is it normal to have that given to you by the controller or what am I supposed to do here? When looking at other STAR charts I don't see any information on those either.Regards-Mikkel

I think the standard holding pattern for jets is "2 minutes" per leg (it is counted when flying TO the fix - the inbound leg). So if it says nothing the default is assumed. For non jets it is 1 minute.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2, Omega 2.7.90 (4xAA 16xAF)
