HOLDING PATTERN AT PRESENT POSITION
1. Display the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page with the /H prompt in the scratchpad by pressing HOLD.
If a holding pattern has already been defined, the HOLD 1/1 page is displayed. Press NEW HOLD (LSK 6L) to
display the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page, with a HOLD PPOS prompt displayed at LSK 6R.
NOTE: To cancel the procedure at this stage, press [LEGS]. The <HOLD PPOS> prompt at LSK 6R is
replaced by the normal <LEGS ETA> prompt.
2. Select the present position hold mode by pressing <HOLD PPOS> (LSK 6R).
The MOD HOLD 1/X page is displayed, with the holding waypoint identifier shown as "PPOS". If necessary,
modify the hold parameters following the manual entry procedure described above.
3. Verify the pattern parameters.
4. Initiate an immediate entry to the hold at present position by pressing [EXEC].
The present position is defined at the moment the [EXEC] key is pressed.
The "MOD" status in the title line changes to "ACT". The CMA-9000 FMS performs a standard entry to the
hold. If the inbound course is not aligned with the current course, an appropriate standard hold entry
procedure will be followed.
NOTE: A holding pattern at present position can only be initiated using the procedure described above. The
manual entry of "/H" cannot be used.
After EXECuting a hold at the present position, PPOS/H is shown in the first position of the ACT RTE x
LEGS 1/X page. If, subsequently, a DIRECT-TO a waypoint not existent in the current route is
performed, then the holding pattern is exited, the PPOS/H is deleted from the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X
page, and the respective waypoint is inserted in the first position of the ACT RTE x LEGS 1/X page
followed by a discontinuity and the initial route.
SECOND HOLDING PATTERN
With the ACT HOLD or HOLD page displayed:
1. Initiate the definition of a new hold by pressing <NEW HOLD> (LSK 6L).
2. Follow any of the previously described hold definition procedures.
The HOLD page title line will display 1/X instead of 1/1. Holding patterns are displayed in the order of route
waypoints. When in ACT HOLD or HOLD pages, all holding patterns in the route can be displayed using
[NEXT] or [PREV] keys.
