Holding Fuel
Holding fuel flow at the optimum speed is given in four tables:
Table 5 .1 for afl engines operative with flaps up.
Table 5 .2 for all engines operative with flaps at 18 .
Table 5 .3 for three engines operative wi th flaps up.
Table 5.4 for two engines operative with flaps up.
Best endurance is obtained by holding with flaps and gear up.
A table is entered with the holding pressure aftitude and the aircraft weight. The rows are
headed with pressure altitude on a pink background; the columns are headod with aircraft
weight on a blue background. The optimum holding speed is given on a green
background; the fuel flow for the speed and weight is in the body of the table on a yellow
background.
With flaps up, speed should not be reduced below Vn o + 10 kt.
It is often more comlortable to hold at a speed higher than the optimum performance
speed: the body angle is reduced, speed stability is increased and the luel penalty is
smafl. A comfortable clean holding speed is 210 kt, but if fuel is low, hold at the optimum
speed lor fuel flow.
Lower holding speeds can be used with 18<> of flap, but the fuel consumption will be
increased. With flap at 18 , speed should not be reduced below VREF33 + 30 kt.
When holding in icing conditions, ENG ANT-ICE and the TAIL and OUTER WING
ANTI -ICE must be ON. The INNER WING DE-ICE must be selected ON for one minute
every 8 to 10 minutes; it must also bo ON when altitude is reduced for approach and
landing.
If ice has formed on the airframe or if severe icing conditions exist, hold with flaps up; the
holding table speeds must be increased by 7 kt and the minimum speed with flaps up is
V FTO + 17 kt.
