dead simple to sort a hold out with the fms. takes 3 button presses for either a present postion hold or a hold on a waypoint that is already in the fms. if you want us to hold at a named point not in our route then its 3 presses again after you have entered the name of the point, ie type in LAM then enter the hold. if its a completely random point its no harder, ie LAM 300 radial at 10nm goes in as LAM/300/10. confirm that point then do your 3 button presses. what im getting at is its very simple and can be done in literally about 10 secs. best of all it gives us something different to play around with rather than sitting there marvelling at the autopilot
