Holding patterns help

ATC
1

About an hour ago I was working Approach on expert server. At one point I had 22 inbound aircraft. As many of you I put you into a "Holding " pattern. Some of you seemed to understand it and did it correctly. Many of you did not and seemed confused.

If anyone does not understand Holding patterns, message me and I would be help to help and work with you. // Recruiter IFATC Flying High

360 is different then a holding pattern. When issued at 360 you do 1 360 then fly your original heading

Yea I’m aware of that but that day…I was issued 360 but on my radar popped a entire holding pattern

All 360 commands will pop up with the holding pattern it’s a glitch in the system. Just do as instructed. Another glitch is when issueing the hold if you have another aircrafts flight plan showing it will issue the hold to that aircraft not the one intended.

Thanks Tom,

You did a fantastic approach job and I did a holding pattern for the first time since the update in Sept!

Like others your command was. Right hand 360 but the oval holding pattern flashed up on my flight plan so I followed that. Hope it didn’t upset the flow too much?

Regards and happy landings
