Why You Still Need to Practice Holds – How Real-World IFR Holds Look

Study IFR Online Ground School today at https://www.flight-insight.com/ifr IFR pilots often ask: “Do I really need to practice holds?” In this video, we show why the answer is YES—through a real-world IFR flight into Salisbury, Maryland (KSBY), where we were unexpectedly assigned a hold at HYDRS despite already being cleared for the RNAV 14 approach. This isn't a missed approach scenario or airline-level enroute delay. It's the kind of GA hold that actually happens—to keep you out of the way of a regional jet. We walk through: The ATC clearance that led to the hold How to program the hold manually on the Garmin Why it wasn’t automatically displayed in the flight plan How to handle the SUSP function during the hold When and how to resume the approach Even at small Class D airports like Salisbury, holds are still a part of the IFR world. Watch to see how we handled this one in real time. 👇 Drop your own hold stories in the comments.
