Auto HA

HA (Hold to Altitude) legs are handled in a manner similar to VA (Heading to Altitude) legs, whereby the FMS will perform an immediate exit of the holding pattern upon achieving the altitude constraint. If the aircraft has a current altitude that complies with the HA leg altitude constraint, the holding pattern will be deleted automatically by the FMS resulting in a Val eg.

Benefits

Implementation of this feature will enhance the automatic leg sequencing ability of the FMS, resulting in reduction in crew workload while assuring compliance to holding procedure.
