CHAPTER EIGHT T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION<br />
816. HOLDING PATTERN APPROACH (HILO)<br />
General. The Holding Pattern/Holding In Lieu Of (HILO) procedure turn approach is used to<br />
establish and orient the aircraft in a position to commence the approach.<br />
Description. A Holding Pattern approach uses a published holding pattern to reverse course and<br />
establish the aircraft inbound on the intermediate or final approach course. Holding Pattern<br />
approaches are printed using a normal holding pattern track with a heavy line indicating “In lieu<br />
of Procedure Turn.” The entry turn and maneuvering in holding requires normal holding<br />
procedures. Only one turn in the Holding Pattern is expected unless more turns are necessary to<br />
lose excessive altitude or to become better established on course, in which case, ATC must be<br />
advised. Descent from the minimum holding altitude may be commenced at the holding fix<br />
(“Case I” below and Figure 8-11) or on the inbound leg (“Case II” below and Figure 8-11).<br />
8-20 TERMINAL PROCEDURES<br />
Figure 8-11 Holding Fix Descent<br />
Unlike the Teardrop and Procedure Turn approaches, the Holding Pattern approach will always<br />
have a FAF depicted on the approach.<br />
NOTE<br />
Established in a holding pattern (as depicted in Figure 8-12) and<br />
subsequently cleared for the approach, do not execute a procedure<br />
turn. Use Holding Pattern/HILO approach procedures.<br />
Procedure. The following procedures assume clearance for the MARIANNA MUNI VOR or<br />
GPS–A approach (Figure 8-12) has been received and you are proceeding to the IAF.<br />
1. Approximately 5 NM prior to the IAF, slow to 150 KIAS. At the IAF, indicated by station<br />
passage, execute the 6 Ts.<br />
a. TIME – Not required, since time of commencing the approach is not reported to the<br />
controlling agency.
