Holding entry and wind correction while holding.
Holding entry and wind correction while holding.
Bottom line
A standard symmetrical holding pattern cannot be flown when winds exist. The standardized procedures should be followed to ensure that an aircraft remains within the boundaries of the prescribed holding airspace. Cross the holding fix initially at or below the maximum holding airspeed (MHA).
