Post subject: | how to exit hold |
I was flying from ESSA to EGLL and i was asked to hold at LAM. I followed hold and descended to flight levels as per ATC instructions. Initially i was told to hold for approximately 18 minutes but i never received any instruction to leave hold even after 25 minutes. Even ATC chatter with AI also stopped in the middle of hold. When i reached critical fuel levels, i had to leave hold and follow approach and landing without ATC. Is it possible to request exit hold to ATC? |

Please zip and attach the debug_monitor.log file from the flight so we can get a better idea of what happened. |

In real life you would eventually have to declare a "Mayday" which would involve low fuel. Though you would probably have discussed that with ATC before having to call it. Having never had your problem I can't tell if it would work in PF3. But we need to see your logs to see what happened in your case. |

My guess is without seeing the logs that it could be a missing sound file or files or corrupt ones with not hearing any ATC either.. |

Or not maintaining a listening watch and the call was simply missed. Without the logs this may have to pass as it was extensively tested and works fine. |

All my AI traffic goes to VHHX. Non goes to VHHH. This is to simulate just how busy Kai Tak was. The hold at Cheung Chau CH was pretty much a guarantee also. Here is a night landing with a lot of AI plus company traffic The instruction to enterthe hold comes just after 5 mins. And it starts to get interesting after 20mins. So you can see how maintaining a listening watch is critical (especially with other company traffic). This is why in many countries including the UK and Italy the RT exam for new pilots is a 100% pass mark only!! |
