212. Training Carrier Holding Procedures. During carrier qualifications, mixed types and numbers of aircraft in
proximity to the carrier are not unusual. To provide safe and adequate control, the following procedures are
established for NATRACOM aircraft during carrier qualifications. Carrier Air Traffic Control Center (CATCC)
shall issue holding instructions as flights check in with Marshal. Altitude assignments shall be made according to
recovery order (event number) and shall be made in sufficient time to allow aircraft to be at their assigned altitudes
10 miles prior to pattern entry.
