Holding Pattern Trainer

As a CFII, I thought this app would be great for practice for my students but it turns out that the Entries are wrong for the turns. I do not recommend.

I even sent an email to the developer and they did not respond. I have decided they know and dont want to fix this. The practice screen seems ok, but then the plan view is incorrect. It has wasted valuable time. Do not purchase!

Excellent tool. I wish I had found this app before. After battling with different methods. This has been the best , and easiest for me to learn about holdings and holding entries

At first I taught myself through this app, but soon realized after watching several YouTube videos and getting CFI instruction I realized this app is drawing the direct, teardrop, and parallel entries in the wrong directions. They’re slicing the fix completely wrong which has caused me so much confusion. I am having to unlearn some things.

This app is an amazing tool to practice constructing holds. Simple yet very effective. I’d highly recommend it to anyone learning IFR

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

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!
