Do you have to report entering a hold?
If you are in a non-radar environment, you must report arrival and departure from the hold. If you are in a radar environment, most controllers in the US do not want a report, but the AIM does not provide that guidance. I always report entering a hold, except when practicing VFR holds in a radar environment.
What reports are required when operating in IFR in the radar environment?
Which reports are required when operating IFR in radar environment? A) Vacating an altitude, unable to climb 500 ft/min, time and altitude reaching a holding fix or point to which cleared, a change in average true airspeed exceeding 5 percent or 10 knots, and leaving any assigned holding fix or point.
What are the required reports that must be made to ATC without specific request?
The following reports are to be made to ATC or FSS facilities without a specific ATC request:
- When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level.
- When an altitude change will be made if operating on a clearance specifying VFR-on-top.
What does a compulsory reporting point look like?
Reporting point symbols as they appear on aeronautical charts. They are designated on aeronautical charts by solid triangles or filed in a flight plan as fixes selected to define direct routes. These points are geographical locations defined by navigation aids or fixes.

When to use hold in lieu of procedure turn?
At least where I fly, most instrument approaches now use a Hold In Lieu of Procedure Turn ( HILO ). The “full procedure” now consists of a turn in the hold before proceeding inbound. In the example above (click to embiggen), if a pilot is northeast of EYWOK and receives the following clearance from Seattle Approach:
What do you need to report on an IFR flight?
After you finished instrument training, you might’ve forgotten that there are certain things you must report to ATC while flying on an IFR flight plan. According to FAR 91.183 and AIM 5-3-3, the following reports should be made to ATC or FSS facilities without a specific ATC request… 1) Any unforecast weather conditions encountered. (FAR 91.183)
Where does the regs show that you must report upon hold entry?
I can find in the regulations where a pilot must report leaving a hold at expected clearance time, and at that time he is supposed to report time, altitude, and position, and the fact that he is leaving the holding position. Where in the regs does it show that you must report upon hold entry?
