App size: 3.15 Mb
Holdings is a great way to practice holding patterns with a visualization unseen on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch so far. Whether you are a flight student or an experienced jumbo pilot, Holdings keeps you fit for the test or to be able to double check the FMS and to stay ahead of the aircraft!
Holdings takes you through all necessary steps, from the type of entry to wind and timing corrections on the actual pattern. Every step is visualized either via the aircraft’s perspective, i.e. an HSI, or a clear, intuitive overview map of the holding and aircraft position / flight path.
Holdings lets you practice:
▶ Entries
- Type of entry
- every course, heading, wind correction angle and timing for the entry
▶ Holding Briefing
- complete holding briefing including must-have items as well as additional information
▶ Actual Holding
- outbound and inbound course, heading, WCA, timing
- by receiving altitude assignments, you will have to decide whether to fly a 1 or 1.5 minute holding pattern
Start practicing with Holdings and fly your next one completely by hand!
Please note: The procedures depicted in this app may differ from those used by your airline / flight school. There is no guarantee for correct procedures.
Latest reviews of Holdings app for iPhone and iPad
Good.
If you know how to fly holds, but your visualization is weak, then this app may have some use for you. However, if you want some background information, descriptions, related FARs, etc, then look elsewhere. The textual content is little to none.
An outstanding app! Recommend A+
Not a bad app but needs ability to make my own holding patterns then show the correct entry sectors. Its good for some general practice but I need to be able to build holds from charts and be able to see the entry sectors for what I input. That would be much more useful than having random holds and instructions preset that we cant modify.
