NOTE: Upon reaching the holding fix, your turn to parallel will provide lateral displacement

of your aircraft from the holding radial.

Crosswind components may cause you to modify the headings in these entry procedures to

maintain the integrity of your holding patterns. If a crosswind component causes you to drift

away from the holding radial, you must compensate for it or you might drift out of protected

airspace. Protected airspace is the area around a holding fix that air traffic controllers will

keep clear of non-holding traffic. It is a completely arbitrary area. Its size will depend on the

nature of the holding fix, type of approach and airport procedures.

NO DEPICTED PATTERN

There are three types of entry procedures used to enter holding. The type entry is

predicated on the reciprocal of the course you would fly while holding inbound to the holding

fix. In most cases the reciprocal will be the same as the holding radial. There will be certain

cases where the reciprocal will fall on, or very close to, a sector boundary. If the reciprocal is

within 5 of a boundary, the entry procedure for either sector will be acceptable.
