Thats a good one :)

That’s really smart actually, but the first thing that they need to sort is, the nav mode

This would help a lot! There were many times I was struggling to fly the holding pattern and it wasn’t even accurate. With an AP Hold, I don’t have to worry about too much.

i agree, this could be a very helpful feature
I wonder if there is any way to implement this into the existing avionics panel (where you can select source from GPS, NAV1, NAV2, etc.)

could work in a similar way to selecting an ILS approach perhaps, tap a VOR, waypoint, or airport, and there could be a “holding pattern” option, and after it’s set, you simply select the appropriate source in avionics and enable NAV mode.

This is much needed! It can be difficult to follow the holding pattern line.

This would really be a helpful feature for both ATC and pilots of course
You’ve got me vote! @Marc

Great idea! Voted!

Awesome feature ,you have my vote.

This is such a good idea! Voted.

It’s a great idea. I was watching tutorials to hold if I had to hold but this feature would be very useful for people who don’t want to do all the maths behind it. I don’t have any votes left unfortunately.

Bumping this because I think it’s a wonderful idea and very much needed.

Exactly, I would love to see this. It would make being in a holding pattern kind of fun and super realistic. I know I’m probably not the only one that loves to spy on the skies whenever I’m being vectored around or holding over an airport.

I may leave a vote for this! Holding looks satisfying if you can do them perfectly! I feel as if this would be added at a time curved waypoints would be added :)

This is definitely a great idea, it would also be nice to have an autopilot for pattern work during a go around.

As I know pattern work is only VFR thing whereas holdings are on your map and you can file them into a FMC. So it wouldn’t work with pattern work I guess, correct me if I’m wrong please 🙄
