Save time and money on your instrument flight training by mastering IFR holding pattern entries at the comfort of your own mobile device. Make IFR flight training easier! Is the following scenario familiar? You receive a holding clearance from ATC, and only have a couple of minutes, sometimes only a few seconds, to choose the correct entry. By the time you've figured out what's going on, you've already passed the holding fix and don't know what to do next. If this sounds familiar, then you need not to worry. Confusion during holding entries happens to practically almost every new instrument student. Even instrument-rated pilots occasionally have the same problem — when they don't get enough practice. Holding Trainer solves this problem and as a result, cuts the time you have to spend on expensive flight and ground lessons. With Holding Trainer, you can practice on your own time and convenience, so that choosing the best holding entry in the air becomes a breeze. Features: -Entry Trainer - Drills you on choosing the best holding entry. Practice until choosing holding entries becomes second nature and impress your flight instructor with your skills. -Holding calculator. Solve and visualize any holding scenario by entering your current bearing to the fix and a outbound or inbound holding radial. -Holding tutorial - learn how to choose the best holding entry quickly and easily. Holding Trainer for iOS is a complete rewrite based on my popular Flash-based desktop Holding Trainer app available on pilotscafe.com. ***Don't get "stuck" next time you receive a holding pattern clearance!*** ---------------------------------- For only a fraction of the cost of one ground lesson with your flight instructor, you can practice this important instrument skill at your own pace and save hundreds of Dollars on figuring out holding entries in the air. This is a great tool for anyone training towards their instrument checkride, CFII, proficiency check, or simply trying to improve their holding patterns. ----------------------------------}

Don’t Download, very frustrating. Giving wrong answers.

The bearing questions are wrong. You’re supposed to apply the reciprocal track to the “pod”(70deg/110deg) used to figure out the hold entry. The app does not do that and gives you the opposite type of entry. The VOR questions are fine.

Great application!! Allows me to pre practice hold procedures prior to flight training sessions.

I was skeptical at first. But, I bought the app because the pilots café has an amazing IFR prep summary available for free. And seriously, with all the money we spend training in aviation the cost of this app is a no brainer. The app was extremely helpful for me in learning the pen method as well as drawing the hold. I think the holds are more difficult than would be experienced in real life. They often use radials and bearings, such as hold on the 347 radial. I think in real life you would get 340 or 350. Thanks for creating this awesome app! Great job, it has absolutely helped me. Bill

Fun app to practice figuring out holding in your head. I’m a retired airline pilot renewing my CFII. 5 bucks is a no brainer. Don’t let the negative comments deter you from buying this.

Total joke. Question instructed me to hold S.E. of 155 radial left turns. Showed it to multiple commercial and CFI students and we’re all in agreement what the app is demonstrating is Southwest, not southeast. Total and complete waste of money. Just practice with a friend and learn to draw it on your own, it will be WAY easier to visualize and understand. It’s too bad, it could really be a cool product, but so far it’s just made my understanding of drawing and visualizing holds worse, not better. The hold entry demonstration is fine, but charging this much for something that’s only half accurate as far as drawing the actual holds go really pisses me off. I want my money back!

If you want to review you holds every 6 months this is perfect. I have been using it for years and I review every 6 months or so wire there practice mode. No gimmick just pay once and keep using it on all your iOS devices.

I already hold a IR however I am 3 years rusty. After doing this for about 30 or so minutes I started getting these fairly quick. I do have a base knowledge already so keep that in mind.

Amazing app. Combine it with the knowledge. And the simple. Rule. That determining the outbound heading. North, South, Southwest etc is always there approximate outbound heading and you will be on the road to success.
