A. SECTOR 1 APPROACH - PARALLEL ENTRY
1. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn onto an outbound heading so as to fly a leg parallel to
the inbound leg for a length of approximately 2.6 times the turn radius; and then:
2. Turn left on to the holding side to intercept the inbound track; and then:
3. Upon flying over the holding fix, turn right and follow the holding pattern.
The following figures shows the parallel entry and expected aircraft guidance on a typical* GAMA EFIS
display.
* For COLLINS EFIS-84 display system, no holding pattern is displayed; rather the crew is provided with an
‘/HL’ or ‘/HR’ appended to the holding fix’s waypoint name to indicate a left or right hand rotation hold
pattern, respectively.
NOTE: The advisory message PARALLEL HOLD ENTRY is displayed as soon as either of the following
conditions are fulfilled:
•
one minute prior to the holding fix when the aircraft is on track inbound to the holding fix
independently of the ground speed
•
one minute prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is greater than 250 kts
•
ten seconds prior to the holding fix if the ground speed is less than 250 kts
The message is removed as soon as the holding fix is overflown a second time.
