Learn Holding Patterns

If you're a frequent flyer, you have probably had to "hold" at one time or another. Holding is when an airplane makes several 360° turns to avoid other aircraft or wait for a clearance to land. Although not as common now as it used to be, you may still encounter a holding request, especially if you are a pilot working on an instrument rating.

This app lets you practice holding patterns. Air Traffic Control will give you instructions and you'll determine the correct Entry Procedure depending on where you enter the holding pattern. Parallel Entry? Direct Entry? Teardrop Entry? Holding makes more sense once you practice it a few times.The more you practice, the better you'll get.
