ForeFlight Feature Focus: Hold Advisor

[@JavaSQL]

Awesome. At long last... a holding feature. Great job guys. We love it❗

[@bovineone]

Can flight plans with holds be transmitted directly via Garmin FlightStream 210 to a GNS-430/530 navigator, or must they first be "expanded" into its component waypoints, like at 2:40?

[@PilotJames025]

Is it possible to add a hold on a set dme from a waypoint? For instance, if you have PVX entered and ATC requests you to hold 10 N of that VOR, how could I add that?

[@foreflight]

You can do that using ForeFlight's "slash codes" syntax. In your example you would enter PVX/360/10 to create a waypoint 10nm due north of PVX, then set up the hold like normal. More information on slash codes here: cloudfront.foreflight.com/docs/ff/14.0/ForeFlight%20Mobile%20Pilot%27s%20Guide%20v14.0.pdf#page=126

The inbound course field doesn't seem to be the actual inbound course. It looks like the inbound heading to the fix. When ATC give you a course to hold that is the inbound course FROM the fix. When ATC tells us to Hold North of GILRO on the 360 radial, looks like we'll have to put inbound 180° M in the hold advisor?

ya, seems backwards to me as well

Another great addition!

[@PhilLauter]

My ForeFlight didn’t update. I’m good. And it IS fine! Sorry for the distraction.

[@Peter_M]

Be careful ... This feature is not working properly.. I suggest more testing before release Hold pattern is not calculated properly.

[@MyEugene001]

Cool feature. If working properly many pilots will like it.

[@grahamboulger87]

Great feature
