What directions are holding turns?

What directions are holding turns?

• A. All left turns except at Juniper (Right)
• B. All right turns
• C. Left turns at all times
• D. Right turns at Juniper only

Answer: (A)

Holding turns are defined by the published direction around each holding fix. A left-hand hold means you turn left on each leg (counterclockwise around the fix); a right-hand hold means you turn right (clockwise). In this scenario, the instruction indicates left turns for all holding fixes except at Juniper, where the hold is right-handed. So you would fly left turns at every hold except Juniper, where you execute right turns. This distinction matters because it changes how you enter and fly the pattern and keeps you aligned with the charted procedure and traffic flow.
