I’m about ready to take my instrument check ride and have found one of the most difficult parts of the training was figuring out which type of entry to use for a holding pattern. The concept was pretty straight forward but of course when I was actually in the plane, trying to fly, looking at the charts and trying to keep calm it was a lot more difficult! After several hours of practice on MSFS2004 I feel much better about them.
The other week my instructor told me that sometimes atc will tell you to hold at a non-published holding pattern. Of course when I’m sitting at my kitchen table I have no trouble figuring these out but I can’t imagine trying to do it while flying. Are there any tricks to making these easier or is it "practice makes perfect"?
Thanks for any help.
