Holds
If the words "advise ready to copy holding clearance" fill you with dread, BVA's Ground School on Holds is made for you! Covering hold entries, wind corrections, speed restrictions, and practical considerations for flying holds, this seminar provides virtual pilots with an introduction to a highly nuanced IFR procedure.
This video was recorded specifically for the online version of our 2020 Ground School and features interactive examples users can walk through. If you're also interested in watching the recording of the live seminar held on August 24: • BVA's 2020 Ground School - Holds (Live)
Presented live by CFIs and VATSIM controllers Alec Liberman and Krikor Hajian, Ground School ran weekly in July and August 2020 for all VATSIM members.
