IainB (EHM-1617)...?!?!?!?!... HELP!!!
EHM-0654 Murray:
Iain,
As the only person that has admitted finishing all the flight training checkrides, I'd like your assistance. On the IR checkride, what the hell does she want me to do when entering the holding pattern in section 2???
I've tried approaching on the 160 radial, on the 140 radial, turning prior to the SEA VOR, turning after the SEA VOR, and still she fails me for "failed to enter the holding pattern correctly"...
EHM-1670 Bill:
Have you looked at http://www.rodmachado.com/Flight-Sim/FlightSim.htm
EHM-0654 Murray:
Bill, you are a GOD!
I think the "IFR checkride" note has answered all my questions regarding the hold...
/me is off to try out this new-found knowledge...
EHM-1617 Iain:
There is a BIG BIG bug in the checkride. She starts a timer expecting you to arrive in the hold within 5 mins of setting the OBS to the inbound course. However, she expects you to set the OBS before she tells you to, starts the timer early, and then ther isn't enough time to get into the hold.
Just set the OBS to somewhere inbound somewhere near PARKK if I remember correctly...
EHM-0654 Murray:
Iain, thanks for the reply.
Bill's link says just that, and even explains where you need to make the change.
Haven't passed it yet, she is now pulling me up for the entry to the hold, but I think that's because I've been setting the NAV1 OBS to 320 rather than 140. Will be giving that a go tonight after work.
