The Modify Parameters window permits the pilot to define the
inbound course of the hold, either the leg time or distance, which
direction turns are made, and at what speed the aircraft holds.
When a hold is published at a selected waypoint, the FMS uses
information contained in the NAV database to pre--populate the hold
parameters with the published hold. The NAV database can contain
published hold information for a waypoint such as course, turn direction,
leg length, and speed. The Modify Parameters window is used to
verify these presumed intentions of published holding patterns are
correct. The pilot may change any or all of the pre--populated data as
desired using the joystick and touchscreen. When published, hold
specifications are modified, the PUB bezel softkey label is displayed.
Pushing the PUB bezel softkey populates fields with published
values.
The waypoint highlighted in the waypoint list when the HOLD bezel
softkey is pushed is the waypoint the Modify Parameters window is
based on. The selected hold waypoint is displayed on the top of the
Modify Parameters window.
Pushing the OK bezel softkey inserts the hold into the flight plan and
closes the Modify Parameters window. Pushing the BACK bezel
softkey returns to the previous display without saving any changes.
When a published hold exists, the default values are from the NAV
database for the published holding procedure. The
Modify Parameters window for non--published holds is described in
the following paragraphs.
D
Course -- The inbound course to the hold waypoint is displayed and
can be modified using the joystick knob.
D
Turn Dir -- Left/Right -- The turn direction of the holding pattern is
selected here. The default selection is right and can be modified
using the joystick knob.
D
Leg Unit -- Time/Dist -- The desired hold length can be altered
between Time and Dist (distance). The default selection is time.
When time is selected, the Leg Time header is displayed under
the Leg Unit header, as shown in Figure 15--86. When distance is
selected, the Leg Dist header is displayed under the Leg Unit
header.
D
Leg Time -- The leg time field permits the pilot to input the leg time
in minutes. The FMS default value for leg time is 1 minute below
14,000 feet MSL and 1.5 minutes at or above 14,000 feet MSL. The
FMS uses the current altitude of the aircraft when determining
altitude.
