Title: Holding Pattern Outline Files
Post by: flanker on November 20, 2010, 08:28:43 AM

Anybody know how I would go about creating holding pattern outline files? I have used the third party outline maker but how would you create the 'arc' shapes required?

I've noticed that within 'map colours' there is an option for holds (v3.13) but of course the holds aren't there without the outline files, any help appreciated!

Thanks Tarbat, I'd like to create the ROKUP and PIGOT holds for East Mids but not sure I can work out how to do it from the example given but I'll keep trying.
