D.R., Thank you for this explanation. I'm amazed how easy your technique makes of hold entries. I'm a new CFI soon to be CFII, and try to embrace that everyone learns differently. While the traditional teachings will need to be taught, it's nice to have this method in my toolbelt!

I believe the last entry would be a teardrop, not a direct?

Hollywood Bubble, Inc. Hi, Yes indeed, You are absolutely right and I'm glad you noticed. For the vast majority of pilots, knowing the name of the entry type is not the important part. The method that I teach will ensure the correct entry without even knowing the formal name. Rookie pilots are, I think, better served with simple, repeatable methods, hence 1-CTF, 2-turn O/B, 3-SITHS. Fly Safely - Train often .. DR

Thank you for making a tricky subject simple to remember. You are a great instructor ✈️

.. and thank you for the kind words.

Thx. Lots of training units can’t teach this procedure well and so students can’t learn it and remember the fly method forever . I think your method works ,thanks again for share on internet with so many student pilots or even airline pilots like me who already forget how to fly a holding procedure without FMC.

Dick, thanks so much for this video. I Was one of those instrument students that was bedeviled by hold entries. Your 3 step process made the process work for me. When on my check ride I was asked to do the hold I went through the three steps and voila"! A perfect hold entry.

Excellent lesson! Simply stated, great visuals, good acronyms, thank you! I really like your emphasis on ignoring the process to determine the type of entry. If pilots use CTF, TOB, SITHS, they will enter correctly every time!

In the first example, did you use your gps to navigate to the fix? If so, why would you set your cdi needle to be your inbound course of 180 BEFORE you get to the fix? I’m not understanding how you maintained positive course guidance on your way to the fix. Thanks!

Hi MH, Excellent question, thank you. I recommend that you always use your navigation equipment to best advantage. Since there are many variations of avionics equipment the video doesn’t try to address each one. If you have a 3 axis AP and an enroute certified gps, proceed direct to the fix with GPS and AP. When you get close.. say a minute away, press the heading bug to the luber line and switch the AP to HDG mode, put the CDI in “OBS” mode and spin the course needle to the assigned inbound course (180 degrees in this case), track outbound using the REV mode (if you have that mode) or simply use the HDG mode to fly outbound over the inbound course (Parallel Entry), then make the course reversal by turning left (West) until the heading bug is aligned with the top of the deflected CDI, lastly arm the NAV mode for automatic capture of the inbound course. This process of drawing it on paper as you receive the clearance will simply help you depict the correct patter as you get the clearance. Newer avionics suites allow us to program unpublished holds before we even enter! It’s getting better (and safer) all the time. Piper and Garmin have done and continue to do a great job for safety and comfort in GA aircraft. Fly Safely - Train Often.. DR

your last entry on the 270 radial is a teardrop right? not direct as you mentioned..

@RWRPilotTraining

Hi Edgar, Nice catch! You are correct. The entry method should really just be a turn of the least amount which keeps you in the hold space... in the case of the last example (a hold on the 270 radial) it is drawn correctly but, as you pointed out, it goes by the name “teardrop”.. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR

How did u “quickly deduce” that the plane was south west. What about ATC’s words gave u that info?

@RWRPilotTraining

Once the aircraft is proceeding directly to the hold fix your position relative to that fix is easily known by looking at the bottom of the EHSI and reading off the cardinal directions on each side of the tail of the course pointer... on old trick but it still works.

Definitely a teardrop entry for the last example, not direct.

So we HAVE TO set the inbound course before entering the fix? if so,how early do we need to set it up ?

@RWRPilotTraining

Hi Ben, once you have received and read back a hold clearance switch to heading mode (present heading), enter the hold fix and proceed direct to it, select the OBS mode and turn the course needle to the inbound heading.. it’s that simple. Use the heading bug to take you to the inbound course. Let me know your questions. Fly Safely - Train Often .. DR .

What if the fix is say 10 DME from a radial how would you cross that fix if you weren't already established on said radial?

@RWRPilotTraining

Thank you for the excellent question. Probably the quickest way is to turn on the cursor and move it to the point in question using the range ring to estimate the 10 DME point. Menu, creat user waypoint, keep the default USR001 name and navigate to it. The more accurate way will be to start by creating a user waypoint with the known fix/radial/distance method then load that named fix into the flight plan. I will do some more videos of examples.
