Holdings vs Instrument Flying Handbook Usage & Stats

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!

Instructors find this handbook a valuable training aid as it includes basic reference material for knowledge testing and instrument flight training.  This handbook conforms to pilot training and certification concepts established by the FAA. There are different ways of teaching, as well as performing, flight procedures and maneuvers and many variations in the explanations of aerodynamic theories and principles. This handbook adopts selected methods and concepts for instrument flying. The discussion and explanations reflect the most commonly used practices and principles. All of the aeronautical knowledge and skills required to operate in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) are detailed.   Chapters are dedicated to + National Airspace System (NAS) + Air traffic control (ATC) system + Human and aerodynamic factors affecting instrument flight + Flight instruments, attitude instrument flying for airplanes + Basic flight maneuvers used in IMC + Attitude instrument flying for helicopters + Navigation systems + Instrument flight rules (IFR) flight procedures + IFR emergencies + Clearance shorthand + An integrated instrument lesson guide
