Lots of training for holds but, in 7 years, I've never had one. Sure, I do them for practice but have never been given one by ATC. However, if the training help spacial awareness, it's all for the good. We've had 3 IIRC, 2 out in the boonies for the same small airport. Go figgur. The 2nd time we were able to cancel IFR and go in to our true destination visually. Equally common (2) has been "just circle a few times, present position". Frankly I hate this instruction; I can create a waypoint anywhere I want with my GPS or hold at any DME distance off a VOR, and I'd much prefer a hold to constant circling. Cheers, Sydney |
