Interesting discussion. I can't say for sure that I've tried it, but what happens if you hit SUSP whil inbound
on the hold the first time around? It should stay active without sequencing after crossing the fix.

If you hit SUSP before crossing the holding fix, it will indeed fly
the hold forever (until you un-SUSP it).


I didn't have the 480 at the time of my IR checkride. I almost blew the ride on an impromptu DME arc
entry to an ILS (diabolical DE - no arc transition on this approach, so this was strictly extemporaneous).
Situational awareness on Arcs and Holds is a piece of cake with that map display.

Yep, I could imagine doing my training/checkride without the Autopilot
but you'll have to pry the moving map out of my cold dead fingers.
