Enroute high altitude holds......consider your speed.....slowing up in a heavy L1011 to hold enroute not followed by a descent resulted in not being able to accelerate to cruise speed in level flight with MCT set for one of our crews.
Skyhawk...If confused in future by such clearences....We would suggest you ask ATC to..."Say again "fully"xxx ATC hold instructions"
This revealed one sim instructor who had no knowledge of how he should issue correctly and in the correct sequence an ATC hold instruction. He was alwys confuseing his crews under check in exactly the same way as you were.
