TACAN and VOR Holding Procedures
II.
Holding entry determination 2.7.5.1.6.1, 2.7.5.2.4.1
NOTE: The following procedures govern a standard (right
hand) holding pattern. For a non-standard (left hand) pattern,
the directions are reversed.
A.
Visualize a straight line on HSI display from aircraft
heading to center of instrument
B.
Visualize appropriate entry procedure plot superimposed
on top of the HSI display and locate the holding radial to
determine entry procedure to be used
NOTE: If the holding radial is within +/- 5 degrees of the
entry plot quadrant division points, either entry procedure
associated with the point may be used. The most
appropriate entry is determined by consideration of
known wind, holding airspace, etc.
III. Holding entry procedures for TACAN, VOR, VOR/DME
2.7.5.1.6.1, 2.7.5.2.4.1
NOTE: It is recommended that CDI mode be used for
increased visual accuracy.
A.
Parallel - Perform parallel entry if holding radial is within
110 degrees left of heading (standard holding)
1.
At holding fix turn in shortest direction to parallel
holding course/radial outbound on the nonholding
side
2.
Note time or DME wings level or abeam whichever
occurs last as appropriate
3.
Set in holding course on HSI display
4.
After desired time or DME is reached, turn in
direction of holding pattern through more than 180
degrees to return to the holding fix or intercept the
holding course inbound
