USER-DEFINED HOLDING PATTERNS
A holding pattern can be defined at any active flight plan waypoint, or at the aircraft
present position.
NOTE: System navigation utilities may not reliably calculate range and
bearing information when the aircraft is operating north of 80° North latitude
or south of 80° South latitude. This may result in the system displaying small
gaps in racetrack holding pattern depictions (GRS 7800 installations only).
Creating a user-defined hold at an active flight plan waypoint:
1) Press the FPL Key on the Control Unit to display the Active Flight Plan Page
(MFD) or the Active Flight Plan Window (PFD).
2) Press the FMS Knob to activate the cursor (not required on the PFD) and
turn the large FMS Knob to highlight the waypoint for the hold.
3) Press the MENU Key, highlight ‘Hold At Wpt’, and press the ENT Key. The
HOLD AT window appears with the course field highlighted.
4) Use the FMS Knobs to edit the entry course, and press the ENT Key.
5) Use the small FMS Knob to select ‘INBOUND’ or ‘OUTBOUND’ course
direction, and press the ENT Key.
6) Use the small FMS Knob to select ‘TIME’ or ‘DIST’ length mode, and press
the ENT Key.
7) Use the FMS Knobs to edit the length, and press the ENT Key.
8) Use the small FMS Knob to select ‘RIGHT’ or ‘LEFT’ turn direction, and
press the ENT Key.
9) Use the FMS Knobs to edit the Expect Further Clearance Time (EFC TIME),
and press the ENT Key.
10) Press the ENT Key while ‘LOAD?’ is highlighted to add the hold into the
flight plan.
Creating a user-defined hold at the aircraft present position:
1) Press the FPL Key on the Control Unit to display the Active Flight Plan Page
