Holding Patterns (GX50/60)
A holding pattern is operationally the same as a
procedure turn except that you usually intend to make
repeated crossings of the waypoint on a specific
inbound course. For a holding pattern, like for the

A holding pattern is operationally the same as a
procedure turn except that you usually intend to make
repeated crossings of the waypoint on a specific
inbound course. For a holding pattern, like for the
procedure turn, the steps will always be to:
1. First, verify that sequencing is suspended, the
OBS/HLD annunciator is lit, or suspend
sequencing by pressing the
sequencing by pressing the
OBS/HLD
button.
2. Second, after crossing the waypoint, establish the
desired inbound course to the waypoint by pressing
DIRECT-TO
twice or pressing
ENTER
for the “Set
OBS Course” message. Select the inbound course
with the

SMALL
and
LARGE
knobs, then press
ENTER
.
3. Enter the holding pattern by the most appropriate
entry method. For example, Direct, Teardrop, or
Parallel, just as you would enter that holding
pattern at a VOR. Finally, when you are ready to
exit the holding pattern, press
Parallel, just as you would enter that holding
pattern at a VOR. Finally, when you are ready to
exit the holding pattern, press

sequencing the next time you cross the waypoint.
sequencing the next time you cross the waypoint.
While you are in a holding pattern, the CDI/HSI
cross-track deviation display and the TO/FROM flag
will behave almost exactly the way they would if you
were holding at a VOR. The TO/FROM flag will
display “TO” prior to reaching the waypoint. The
TO/FROM flag will display “FROM” after crossing
the waypoint. TO and FROM is determined by
position relative to a line drawn perpendicular to the
cross-track deviation display and the TO/FROM flag
will behave almost exactly the way they would if you
were holding at a VOR. The TO/FROM flag will
display “TO” prior to reaching the waypoint. The
TO/FROM flag will display “FROM” after crossing
