Here's a typical route from KRME to KTEB. Keep in mind KRME is North of KTEB. KRME UCA RKA HNK V167 WEARD V489 COATE If I place the cursor between WEARD and RUBER (the next fix on V489) ENTER and press Hold at WEARD, I get the depicted hold. If I select WEARD first, then press ENTER and HOLD at WEARD I get the hold on V167 inbound to WEARD. If I start from an airport south of WEARD, say KBGM then HNK V167 WEARD V489 COATE, I always get the hold on V167. Is this by design? Can you explain why? |

I attempted to replicate this issue on the sim and each time I tried to either insert the hold between WEARD & RUBER or hitting enter at WEARD, I get: Hold North of WEARD, Right Turns, 1 Min, 199 degrees. Are you seeing this too? ------------- Simpson Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager |

I tried to attach an image but you have it turned off. Couldn't even link to an image on a public server. I tried it again and it happens exactly as I stated above. If click on WEARD and hold at WEARD it places hold on V167 (130 degrees). If I click between WEARD and RUBER it makes the hold as depicted aligned with V489 (199 degrees). If you do KBGM HNK V167 WEARD V489 COATE, no matter where I place the cursor, it places the hold on the V167 (not as depicted).

You can email me the image at sbennett (at) avidyne.com. I'll be more than happy to look into it. I might have you download the logs as well but lets start with the image. ------------- Simpson Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager |

| Hi, I sent the image to your email address a few days ago. What do you think? |

Sorry about the delay in responding, Oshkosh prep was taking a lot of bandwidth last week. I am sending you an email with what I was able to recreate. Our Principal Engineer that designed the FMS is taking a look at the issue. I hope to have something to you by the end of the week. ------------- Simpson Bennett Avidyne Corporation Product Manager |
