Two questions on holds

[Amish RakeFight]

I've been straightened out before by a sharp eyed cohort; that's CRM.

I hope everyone has had a humbling experience after being quite brazen about a decision. I know I have.

The advent of CRM has saved lives and certificates. Maybe not in this instance, but why can't we all be more open-minded and less thick-headed and dichotic when it comes to making decisions.

Please, for the love of christ, admit when you're wrong. You actually grow and are more respected when you do. Admitting your wrong (and understanding why) actually helps you learn. CRM is a wonderful thing. Being secure is also being secure in that you are human and don't know everything nor should you attempt to burden yourself with thinking you do. We all bring something different to the table. Listen to what others have to say and keep an open mind.

The old adage goes:

You don't know what you don't know.

Remember this acronym "NDB TOP" Draw the hold, and put a line through it at 70 degrees. This gives you the "Nose" and "Body" of the hold. Determine where you are in relationship to the hold. On your current heading where will you be after crossing the fix.

Nose =
Direct entry
Body =
Teardrop entry
Outside=
Parallel entry

Our FMZ 2000 does everything for us and thats great. Although when I'm bouncing along in a C172 the technology isn't in the plane. Nice to have good ole' basic skills.

Hopes This Helps.
