Erick, you are very welcome, we're glad you're enjoying the series. The outbound leg requires wind drift correction, but the pilot must use a heading for this correction due to the lack of course navigation. Advanced avionics can allow you to fly a perfect track, but does not account for the wind drift that occurs during the turns. Using about 3 times the inbound wind correction on the outbound leg accounts for this. Just make sure it is into the wind! Good luck on the written!
Great videos, I check them from time to time to remember the basics of flying instruments. Really helpfull and clear! You should make a video about flying DME ARCs. Greetings from Chile!
There are different types of holding patterns based on distance or with 2 minute legs. There are two issues with timing. 1. Protected airspace is based on distance using the timing at maximum holding speeds with buffer because, as you mentioned, this will change the exact holding pattern. 2. Separation in the non-Radar environment is based on time to establish safe distances. This way, certain expectations of both controllers and pilots are established and met. I hope that helps.
No mention of how to vary angle of bank. 1/2 drift correct is the variation to the standard AoB, and 1 sec per knot per min for cat A and B aircraft to adjust timing.
The background music. Why, oh, why must that be included in this tutorial? Seems more appropriate for a Golden Corral commercial. Anyhow, both of the holding videos were very informative. Learned a lot.
So on the outbound leg we don't have to correct for wind drift? I fly the heading not the course? By the way, these videos are really speeding up my path to my instrument written, thanks a lot!!
Thanks a lot. I have to watch this video some times again because icant understand everything. I´m not a Newbie but you speak very quick and its hard to understand all the technical terms which are not present in German.
Why is a 1 minute in- and outbound leg so important? As long as every plane in the holding pattern keeps its advised altitude and stays clear of ground it does not matter, if they fly a proper holding figure or only a simple circle over a fix. Anyway, due to different airspeeds every plane leaves it's own holding track.
Yes... but... you can get in hot water for not proper fuel planning. You should have 45 min reserve fuel, and most holding patterns are not going to take 45 minutes of your time...
My students You give them a hdgn and a radial to hold, and they told you in 3 secons the entry and heading after the fix. Is what I teach no need to visualize
It's much easier to tell the ATC "Negative, unable to hold, low on fuel, need landing clearance immediately" Then you never have to remember any of this stuff. (that is the slacker method).

Great job guys, your videos are so far the best!

Excellent Video. Thanks
i thought it was hard, but it is easy, thank you, great explanation
That was awesome. Thanks for the great info.
an onscreen display looks very neat indeed.
thank you for this IFR info, very useful... Regards

Very nice job!! Thanks
Very Good Video Guys!!!! TKS
Good job,great video give me big help.thanks.

All right, thanks!
great job
Great video thx

N447ND?? I flew it from FL to NY holy moly
those who thumbed down probably failed the IFR checkride i guess
Seokjin Cho or too stupid to understand.
thanks

Changing speed in the first video was "not less than 3 minutes from the fix" and here it is "3 minutes or less" ?!?
triple the wind correction factor in the outbound leg is way too much... try double it only, works just fine

I am well aware of that. I was just being sarcastic. Or a better term, facetious.

He didn't talk about how to do wind correction.
Bin Ghannam you learn wind correction technique during private. If you don't know how to do it by IR training, you shouldn't be a pilot.
1:47 Hot ;D
