I am completing a new menu option and nas to do holding patterns around a navaid/fix. The nasal code, when enabled via the menu, flies to the selected point and circles using AP. At the point of being enabled it will snapshot current AFDS/Route Mgr info and will put that back into play when the hold is disabled. The user can set the navaid/fix by name, diameter from the aid to circle, Right/Left pattern, and speed. I plan to add oval and square patterns later, One last feature is that you can choose to return to the point where the hold was enabled or just continue on from where you left off in Route Mgr.
I greatly enhanced SpokenATC to be more realistic and added send to hold as a feature which drove this enhancement. Since this uses AP speed, direction, and hold altitude it should be adaptable to other aircraft rather easily. Additionally, I do not have a clue as to the usage of SpokenATC but I would would be willing to submit my updates to it too. I have tested it whit a variety of planes and am adding helicopter support now too.
is holding pattern for the 777 something that others would be interested in having? If so please let me know next steps or point me to the process.
thanks,
