There is a persistence on behalf of a TRE in our sim sessions that we time our holds even though we are flying a modern FMC-equipped type airliner . He says this is part of the test standards ( I think he refers to the IR test standards ) . However I find it hard to believe that this applies to an FMC equipped type aircaft and there’s got to be some exception in the IR standards for FMC equipped typed aircraft. Why the whole argument ? Because we always deal with an emergency whilst we are in a hold in the sim and timing the hold is just not something that is natural to do in such occasions in a modern airliner . Any comments and pointing out to some regulations on this issue ?
