Requesting a hold from ATC for descents
Mxsmanic wrote: If it becomes impossible to respect your descent schedule, is it permissible to ask ATC to give you a hold temporarily so that you can descend in the hold pattern until you're back to your planned descent? If so, is this a fairly common procedure, or very unusual? I'm thinking with respect to large commercial jets in particular (or potentially any jet, since they usually seem to be fast and slippery). Probably more of an issue for Mooney and Lasair pilots than for jets that can descend at 3,000 FPM. -Robert
