FAA max hold speed below 6000 is 200 KIAS, from 6001 thru 14000 is 230 KIAS, 14001+ is 265 KIAS. Does anyone know if this is ICAO as well? If not, what are the ICAO hold speeds and altitudes? Look forward to hearing from you.
 
- Holding speeds below FL140 - 230
- Holding speed between FL140 and FL200 - 240
- Holding speeds between FL200 and FL340 - 265
- Holding speeds above FL340 - Mach 0.83

Speeds are, ICAO standard, in KCAS and are the speeds used to define the holding area. Speeds used by individual aircraft may vary between types.

ICAO Doc 8168: If memory serves me right, it also depends what category of Aircraft you fly.

dude, stop wallpapering your interview prep questions around FI...you should try studying and actually open a book between iPod songs.

If you must post them on FI, there's a specific forum for interview prep.

And get a new screen name. That's pretty much the gayest one yet.

Do you ever have anything positive to say?

If not, try this:

1. take a deep breath
2. hold for count of 3
3. let it out slowly
4. keep your mouth shut
