![]() "Sam Spade" wrote in message ... I don't see any need for air data to make this work. It is a positive course guidance oval, right? So, make the oval the correct dimensions for containment in protected airspace. Then, the autopilot, flight director, or hand-flying pilot will compensate for wind by simply remaining on the yellow brick road. My autopilot, S-Tec 55, won't do more than a 90% standard rate turn, and that is only in the high-gain capture mode. If you make the predefined oval large enough so that such a turn will get you rolled out on the inbound course in the presence of a stiff xwind from either side, I suppose you can make it work. For published holds, the containment airspace is already defined, and may be constrained in some areas due to adjacent airspace and ATC considerations. |
