Having difficulty flying accurate Holding Patterns in the wind? Here's the answer...Until now Holding Pattern Computers were limited to providing information about entering the hold. QuDieM QuikHOLD is different. In addition to providing the appropriate entry procedure for any approach heading, this new IMC/IFR aid displays wind compensated outbound time in seconds and out-bound heading adjustment for wind speed up to 40kts when manoeuvring at 90-110 kts airspeed. Right and Left-handed patterns are catered for, operation is simple and its graphic design greatly assists the pilot's appreciation of the wind/holding pattern relationship.
The instrument may be placed on the chart over the fix, enabling easy visualisation of the approach and entry procedure. Having preset wind speed, in-cockpit operation in single handed. Maintainig an accurate four minute holding pattern in a light aircraft in other than light winds is not easy. By providing a practical basis for navigating the holding pattern QuDieM QuikHOLD is an invaluable aid to the IMC/IFR student and rated pilot alike.
