The best explanation for holds I’ve ever seen! Definitely much better than courses that require payments. Kudos to you sir! Check ride is less than a month. Wish me luck!

I watched many videos about this subject and finally I found. Everbody teaches different methods but this is exactly what my instructor want. Some other methods are more easy but I need to be in coordination with my instructor.

You're brilliant, and you're a naturally intuitive teacher. This is amazing. I'm not even a pilot, but I've got a passing interest in aviation procedures for some reason, and although this assumes some knowledge, I still fully understand it. I also like that you get right to the damn point and have no fluffy-ass intro and/or outro. Damn fine job.

Doing my ATPLs. This video really helped me understand the concept. Thank you so much. Flight school has made me realise that I’m very much a visual learner compared to being a note taker as a kid.

[@yousuffarhatkhan6470]

Thank you so much for this tutorial I mean all of your instructions were as clear as day!

[@tonygeier4610]

Been flying instruments for 4 years in the military and civilian world. Your videos are great for refreshing before a check ride!!! keep it up man!!

[@bekbolotkarazakov8122]

You’re the best one , who explained that easy and simple, Thanks!

[@PilotZach]

I was struggling so much and have tried every video on holding patterns and yours helped so much. Thank you!!!!!!

[@jonasberney8857]

Your channel is so helpful, thank you! I am starting my instrument rating in a couple weeks and your videos are helping me to understand some of the fundamentals to IFR flying.

[@CaptainJ555]

I don't know who you are, but YOU are an AWESOME instructor!!!

[@raedj9990]

Thank you so much. I wish you were my instructor. You are amazing. Professional.

Best hold entry procedure video on youtube

[@globaltraders1338]

thanks for all the great videos!

[@user-el2gf9xv7i]

Best explanation I have found, thank you so much.

[@charlesmclean9089]

The best instructions for holding can be found in the King Video. I am not affiliated with the Kings.

[@sandeepvictor6879]

Finally, Clear explanation, Compare to other videos

[@fiko231]

It's was really helpful...tnx for sharing ur thoughts and vid...keep it up

[@Imustfly]

Nice vid....good visualization tools, even for a 25 yr instrument pilot !!

[@michaelgarrow3239]

Entry’s are easy. Just fly over the fix and take the easiest rout to the opposite corner. Time it for 1 min turn right usually.

[@jimb5051]

Great teaching thanks

[@PhoenixA380]

Beautiful!

[@annemcquade7185]

Thank you HAPPY CHRISTMAS God Bless you 😘

[@mustafanav6970]

Thanks soo much 😙

[@milosradonjic3610]

Video is great but also I think it was important to explain and show standard and non standard pattern as it makes some changes in Tear drop

[@shyammohabir8283]

Many students confuse "HEADING" and "RADIAL" (Radial ALWAYS leaves the VOR), Heading is the direction you're flying. When you take into consideration the WCA inbound and outbound legs at altitude, you're not flying a race track pattern any longer.

[@eugenvaleriumaxim8845]

Hi, I think that the “clearance” should have stated that the hold would be INBOUND, and in your example, inbound on 270 radial. It got me confused at the beginning. Thanks.

[@gregoryhill5222]

Thank U so very much 👍

[@ivusgeorge8314]

Much appreciated sir

[@ramiropema]

best explanation so far!

[@RaulRamirez-rs5qb]

Muy bueno,

[@khalidali-it7uc]

Goooooood jop sir you are the best

[@lisaotruba8974]

I was in one of these around La Guardia in New York,Airport it was really scary we were up in the sky to what seemed like hours Thank God I had my Husband with me, i was beginning to Panic!!!!!

[@rogerstuder3680]

Thanks. You nail it down....

[@vincebeatz5881]

This is good but I get confused at the part where we approach from... when coming in on the 210 radial, isn't that to the SW? After drawing the compass rose why you chose to come from the NE? not saying you're wrong I just don't understand that portion

[@farhaancassiem7794]

goated video

[@vladimirl9261]

Hi,good question for you. If would ATC give -hold W on 90...what entry you would choose ,why and how would you do it. Thank you.

[@MqKosmos]

I think you forgot to stated what course you're on... XD

[@EnsanNormal]

From where the direction 060 came from ?

[@zmanmd1641]

Hmmmm, that tool looks like a rubber band. Always have one of those in the cockpit!

[@94dpowers]

@8:10 something doesn’t add up. If you’re coming from a 210 heading, would it not be a direct entry?

[@mybubu2000]

I rechecked.Looks like a parallel entry bro. If it’s a direct entry it would be an entry from 180 to 270 heading.

[@daintyflygirl4va]

I think its a direct entry

[@renzomartinez3351]

He said hold on radial 180 over station. You're from radial 030 heading to station at heading 210. Its parallel.

[@zacharynorman397]

Why did you draw the "slash" from "7 to 1 o'clock" and not "11 to 4 o'clock?" Wouldn't that cut off a larger part of the hold??

[@zacharynorman397]

I think I may have just answered my question myself...I think (if I am understanding correctly) the "teardrop" section needs to always be on the outside of the hold. Therefore, if you cut it from 11-4 oclock like I said, the teardrop would be on the wrong side. Yes?

[@RaulRamirez-rs5qb]

Buenas tardes: soy piloto: y volé mucho tiempo en Santa Cruz de la sierra Bolivia.como piloto (C 46

[@writtenflop495]

at 7:40 the heading indicator is indicated the nose of the plane is heading north, how could you be flying on a 210 heading?

[@mustafanav6970]

Viet M-TP HUYNH the air plan is moving so is correct

[@giacomosimongini5452]

Overall a clear and helpful explanation, but the "slashing out the biggest part of the hold" to find the entry procedure had me confused. It doesn't give any real information on how to draw that line.

[@revlengel]

Giacomo Simongini agree, not enough info in that statement. What I do is extend the inbound leg straight through the fix. Then move 70 degrees left around the fix and then slice it on that angle. The slice with the extended inbound beyond the fix gives you the 3 sections. (This is harder to explain without drawing a diagram, but I hope it makes sense.)

[@kyu5435]

It's Direct entry not tear drop 5:28

[@floofytown]

This vid is _chock full_ of ASMR, hoooly shit.

[@Themheals]

This is how I do it, i draw the hold in finger grease right on the dg
