Holding Patterns
Asked by: Hamza Asghar 1113 views Airspace, FAA Regulations, General Aviation
In holding patterns 14000ft is defined as the the datum above which the aircraft will decrease the standard rate turn to 2° per second instead of 3° per second to avoid stall and increase the time to 90s instead of 60s. I want to know why is the altitude 14000ft ? What is the significance of 14000ft ? The density decreases with increase in altitude so it could be any altitude. Why 14000ft ?
