An Overview of Airways

June 22, 2015 By Will 3 Comments

Airways are the "highways in the sky" that connect each point in the United States.  Airways tell air traffic controllers where we are going and how we are going to get there.  Without airways, all aircraft would be free to amble their way across the country on their own and in their own direction.

Drawing Holding Entries

October 3, 2013 By Will Leave a Comment

I've gotten a few questions lately about how to properly draw a holding entry when looking at a hold.  The process is the same for all holds regardless of position, direction, or if it has standard turns or not.
