getHoldingPattern

Look up published FAA holding patterns at an IFR fix or near an airport — inbound course, turn direction, leg length, altitudes and max speed.

ProblemWhat it solves

The problem this tool solves

Reading hold parameters off a plate under workload is error-prone. The Copilot returns the published hold straight from FAA NASR.

Example interaction

Pilot asks

What is the published hold at AADEN?

Copilot responds

AADEN: hold SW, inbound 345°, right turns, 15 NM legs, 18,000–45,000 ft MSL, max 265 KIAS.
