B. SECTOR 2 APPROACH - OFFSET ENTRY (also called TEARDROP)
1. On reaching the holding fix, the aircraft will turn to the heading required to fly a 40
°
track relative to the
reciprocal of the inbound track on the holding side; then:
The following figures show the teardrop 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 TEARDROP 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.
