If an aircraft is assigned a direction of holding (i.e., NW or SE, etc.) as OF42 was, the

direction of holding is in relation to the holding fix. (Figure 6)

Figure 6

Since the 260R is in the SW quadrant, you can only hold SW or NE of the fix (See Figure 5).

Example:

Assigned Holding Radial

Possible Holding Directions

010

NE or SW

2710

NW or SE

090

E or W

1790

SE or NW

Therefore, since you were told to hold SW, your possible holding patterns are limited to the

two on the southwest portion of the 260 radial (Figure 7, 8).
