Holding Pattern Entries Quiz

Civilian Jet / IFR·10 Questions

ATC tells you to hold and you have about thirty seconds to figure out the entry. This quiz tests whether you can determine the correct holding pattern entry — direct, teardrop, or parallel — based on your inbound heading, and then fly it correctly. Questions cover the entry determination method, turn directions, timing, wind correction, and the common mistakes that send pilots the wrong way around the hold.

What you'll be tested on

  • Direct, teardrop, and parallel entry selection
  • Inbound heading and entry sector determination
