When holding at an intersection when does the timing of the outbound leg start?
Intersection: Outbound timing starts at completion of outbound turn since magnetic bearing cannot be determined. NDB: Outbound timing starts when ADF relative bearing is 90-degrees minus drift correction angle.
When entering a holding pattern above 14000 feet the initial outbound leg should not exceed?
Above 14,000 feet MSL: 11/2 minutes. The initial outbound leg should be flown for 1 minute or 11/2 minutes (appropriate to altitude).
When operating above 14000 MSL How long should the inbound leg of a hold be?
1-1/2 minutes
U.S. FAA [Aeronautical Information Manual §5-3-8 ¶4] The initial inbound leg should be flown for 1 minute (at or below 14,000 feet MSL) or 1-1/2 minutes (above 14,000 feet MSL).
How does a procedure turn work?
When you read an instrument approach chart, you’ll often find a published procedure turn. It’s a course reversal to help you line yourself up on the final approach course of an instrument approach. These procedure turns are flown in the direction indicated by the graphically depicted barbed arrow.
Which way do you turn a procedure turn?
In general, though, it’s as simple as flying to the procedure turn fix either directly or via a feeder route, then turn outbound (often over 180 degrees). The rest of the procedure is as charted.
When to turn to outbound leg when holding at VOR station?
When holding at a VOR station, pilots should begin the turn to the outbound leg at the time of the first complete reversal of the “to-from” indicator. See GEN 3.4, Paragraph 12, Two-Way Radio Communications Failure, for holding at the approach fix when radio failure occurs. Holding pattern airspace protection is based on the following procedures.
Which is the outbound leg of the DME / GPS holding pattern?
The outbound course of the DME/GPS holding pattern is called the outbound leg of the pattern. The controller or the instrument approach procedure chart will specify the length of the outbound leg. The end of the outbound leg is determined by the DME or ATD readout.
When do you start timing the legs on a paraglider?
TIME: note the time of entry; start timing the legs when wings level or abeam the station (head of the needle on or below the 90), whichever occurs last Perform all turns at 3 per second; or 30° angle of bank; or 25° angle of bank if using a flight director system, whichever requires the least bank angle
When to Triple the inbound drift correction when outbound?
When outbound, triple the inbound drift correction to avoid major turning adjustments; e.g., if correcting left by 8 degrees when inbound, correct right by 24 degrees when outbound Air Traffic Control clearances will come with a clearance limit, be in the airport (no delay expected), or a NAVAID (delay expected)
