Because the size of the holding pattern is directly proportional to the speed of the aircraft, maximum holding speeds in knots indicated airspeed (KIAS) have been designated for specific altitude ranges. Maximum holding speeds in knots indicated. Turns in the hold should be standard rate, but not more than 30 degrees.

If flying under IFR, you’ll need a VOR or TACAN receiver, or an RNAV system (GPS). This effectively limits traffic in Class B to 250 knots due to 14 CFR § 91.117(a). Traffic flying under a shelf or through a VFR corridor needs to stay below 200 knots. You’ll also have to limit your speed to 200 knots, obeying 14 CFR § 91.117(c).

We departed Ocean City in very strong gusty winds and pointed for Snow Hill VOR. As we reached the mid peninsula we were rocked by strong wind gusts between 40 and 49 knots at six thousand five hundred. Pleasant SC (KLRO)for a fuel and go.There were n o cameras today, I just didn’t feel up for it.

Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six Navigation equipment includes a Garmin GNS-530W GPS navigator and two VOR receivers for secondary navigation. I configured the airplane the same way as noted on the Piper Climb chart: 105 mph (91 knots), flaps 10 ° , full throttle. An autopilot and Aspen primary flight display reduce workload on long flights.

I launched from runway three-two and pointed for the Snow Hill VOR. Once south of Myrtle Beach I was turned direct Charleston VOR. Mary had the garlic knots along with the Italian chop salad. We finished breakfast and headed to the airport. With a quick exchange we were on our way, climbing to six thousand, as filed.

Surface winds are already thirty knots gusting to forty-five. Forecast much stronger, up to one hundred knots.” One hour out, our ground speed is an absurdly slow: seventy knots as indicated by our distance measuring equipment (DME). “My calculations agree with the DME readout of seventy knots.”

West of the Geneseo VOR, I passed high above Silver Lake and the gorge in Letchworth State Park. As I passed Kelley's Island, wind streaks in the water out of the southwest indicated a wind of six to eight knots, exactly as forecast. Serpentine tendrils of mist followed the course of the Genesee River south of Letchworth.

Our ride at six thousand five was smooth despite the brutal headwinds at thirty plus knots. Asking for lower we settled for fifteen to twenty knots still in our face at four thousand five hundred. As we approached Barrett’s Mountain VOR you could make out the mountains ahead.

We flew at 7,000 feet with as much as a 30 knot tailwind. Tom and I filed via the Rockdale VOR, which was a starting point on the Nobbi Five arrival procedure used in the greater New York area. Behind the front, the headwind relented somewhat and our ground speed rose from the upper 70 knot range to just over 100 knots.
