Fenix hold speed

Featured Replies

Hi guys, 

This is something I haven't been able to find the answer to. How do I pre-select a hold speed? The aircraft is always yelling at me to set hold speeds. 

Example: Currently en route to KBOS, got the JFUND2 arrival loaded, and I've set up a hold at JFUND. I'd like to set speed 230 and FL200 for the hold - do I select this next to the JFUND waypoint?

The speed itself is not selected in the HOLD sub-menu. You set it in the F-PLN display clicking the RSK next to the HOLD entry.

By default Green dot speed is automatically selected.

Very good material here too:

Thanks! I'll give it another try. And watch the videos. 

On the abovementioned KBOS approach I was unable to clear the FL200 alt restriction I put in, so decided to go into open descent mode. 

I did watch this one, and a few minutes into the video realized it's from the ToLiss in XP11. Lol. Not sure if the Fenix behaves differently though.

Good news, I was able to put in a speed restriction for a waypoint in a STAR (I also programmed a holding pattern for same waypoint). The aircraft prioritized slowing down to meet that restriction even though it didn't meet the alt restriction (pilot error, started descent too late, didn't use speed brakes). Thanks @jcomm!
