Terence,

What Mark said. As for speed, I use 90 in a comparable plane, 80 seems
a little slow to me, but it is a matter of taste. The controller would
probably appreciate a heads-up about the speed change (here in Europe
you must inform them). Also, should you actually get a hold in earnest,
I would ask for slower immediately on the way to the hold, since the
whole purpose of the excercise is to delay me.
