Holding at the FAF

Holding at the FAF is different from other holding patterns. You must be inbound and have sequencing enabled to allow proper transition to Approach Active at the FAF.

This example shows holding at the FAF, SL (TURNO) for the NDB or GPS Runway 31 Salem (McNary) Airport (SLE).

Press OBS/HLD to release the hold as soon as you intercept the inbound course (point A). This will allow you as much time as possible for transition to Approach Active operation. The waypoint SL (TURNO) becomes the FAF as soon as the hold is released.
