TACAN/VOR Navigation and Holding Procedures

3. Airspeeds

a. All aircraft may hold at the following altitudes and

maximum holding airspeeds:

Altitude (MSL)

Airspeed (KIAS)

MHA - 6,000 ft

200

6,001 ft - 14,000 ft

230

14,001 ft and above

265

b. The following are exceptions to the maximum holding

airspeeds:

(1) Holding patterns from 6,001 ft to 14,000 ft may be

restricted to a maximum airspeed of 210 KIAS;

this nonstandard pattern will be depicted by an

icon

(2) Holding patterns may be restricted to a maximum

airspeed of 175 KIAS; this nonstandard pattern

will be depicted by an icon; holding patterns

restricted to 175 KIAS will generally be found on

instrument approach procedures applicable to

Category A and B aircraft only

(3) Holding patterns at USAF airfields only--310 KIAS

maximum, unless otherwise depicted

(4) Holding patterns at Navy fields only--230 KIAS

maximum, unless otherwise depicted

NOTE: Normally, holding airspeed is based on

maximum endurance. Airspeed is adjusted for

altitude. A max endurance airspeed would be appropriate

when conserving fuel.
