Скачать или смотреть Instrument Rating Course: 2.3.1 - Holding Pattern Basics

Welcome back to Epic Flight Academy’s Instrument Rating Course!
In this lesson, Mike Thompson explains the fundamentals of holding patterns—a key maneuver every instrument pilot must master. You’ll learn why pilots hold, how holding patterns are structured, and the standard entry procedures used to stay safe and compliant under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

Mike breaks down the different types of holds, their maximum holding speeds, and how to visualize them using real-world diagrams. You’ll also learn the three entry methods—direct, teardrop, and parallel—and how to determine which one to use based on your aircraft’s inbound heading.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to interpret holding instructions and execute them with precision and confidence.

This course is taught by Epic Flight Academy's own Mike Thompson. Mike Thompson is the author of "Telling Is Not Teaching", which promotes the idea that the “new school” of teaching that embraces electronic technology cannot sacrifice the “old school” of human relationships because the human brain stills learns in largely the same way that it has for millennia.
