Guest bluenose final Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Anyone know the standard holding speeds when in U.S. airspace? thanks D9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av8tr Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 D9, This is taken out of the FAA's web site. Hope this helps. Altitude (MSL) Airspeed (KIAS) MHA - 6,000' 200 6,001' - 14,000' 230 14,001' and above 265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HardRock Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 When cleared for a hold, just ask the controller what speed he/she wants... makes life so much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innuendo Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Perhaps easier for the pilot but maybe not for the controller. Why should he/she have to add to their work load to take the time to tell pilots material that they are supposed to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundeffect Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Besides, the mandated speeds are max speeds....who wants to be drilling holes in the sky at max holding speed anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tri-spool Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Don't have much of a choice when you fly big steel. Clean speed for the B-767 is between 220-255 knots depending on weight? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HardRock Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Tri-spool, you're right... half the time we're asked to hold... our clean speed is above the max hold speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HardRock Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Plus, ATC very often gives us a speed to hold anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
