Congratulations on finding the finest and most advanced Holding Pattern Computer available.

This app's primary goal is to provide the specific headings and timings needed to fly a holding pattern. It is designed to help pilots roll out precisely onto the inbound leg at a predetermined time from the fix.

The app is ideal for pilots in training and those working towards their instrument rating. It also serves as an excellent cross-check for experienced pilots, helping them stay mentally oriented to the aircraft's relative position to the pattern, magnetic north, and wind effects.

Unlike other holding pattern devices that only suggest an appropriate entry procedure, such as direct, parallel, or teardrop, this Holding Pattern Computer goes a step further. It provides turn-by-turn directions, including the recommended time to fly each heading before initiating a turn – not limited to standard rate turns but also accommodating arbitrary turn rates!

This Holding Pattern Computer utilizes a sophisticated, patented analytic solution developed by Dr. Les Glatt, a 51-year veteran of the Aerospace Industry and FAA Safety Team Representative. It automatically calculates ground track, wind correction angle, headings, and required timings based on the assigned fix, true airspeed, and virtually any wind direction and velocity up to 99.99% of TAS.

No other applications, including existing aircraft avionics systems, can match the accuracy of this app. Additionally, with this app measuring the outbound time from when the aircraft turns to the outbound heading, there is no longer a need to locate the abeam point – significantly reducing pilot workload!

Entering holding data with this app is made easier thanks to its step-by-step approach. Each component has its own dedicated screen, allowing pilots to focus on one element at a time while continuing to fly the airplane.

Included with this app is an onboard user guide and the influential paper titled "A Treatise on the Holding Pattern: Expelling the Myths and Misconceptions of Timing and Wind Correction."

For a fraction of the cost of one hour with a flight instructor, you can have access to the most advanced Holding Pattern Computer available and the information necessary to help you master and fly the perfect holding pattern every time!

If you desire a precisely timed inbound leg while rolling out precisely onto the inbound course, then this app is a must-have for you!
