Someone gave me some RMIT IREX practice exams and one of the questions is as follows
An aircraft is holding at 3000' in the Epping holding pattern, What is the maximum IAS you may do without ATC approval in a Cat B aircraft?
A 170kt
B 230kt
C 240kt
D There is no limit
I answered B 230kt because in the AIP ENR 1.5 3.2.1 it says:
Indicated Airspeed must not exceed
1 up to and including FL140
-230kt
or
-170kt for holding where the approach is
limited to Cat A & B aircraft only
They at RMIT gave the answer being A 170kt, but I could only assume that they were talking about the Epping hold at Melbourne and there is no mention of this being restricted to Cat A & B only, therefore shouldn't it be 230kt?
Can someone shed some light
Thanks
