Practice choosing the right holding pattern entry, that is, direct, teardrop, or parallel. This Demonstration simulates a holding pattern entry situation by indicating the course of the aircraft, the radial specified to hold on, and whether or not a left turn is instructed by air traffic control (ATC). Click the correct button to indicate your choice and get the next test case. How many points can you get in two minutes?
