Hello,I have one question,how do I make holding patterns?
One question

One word – Heading.
-
For VOR patterns, first set the desired inbound course on the cdi. You first have to master your holding entries: direct, teardrop, or parallel. Once you are in the hold, once you have passed the station that it is based on, make a 180 degree turn. Once you are abeam the station/fix, time for 1 minute (normally). Then make another 180 degree turn to intercept the inbound course, tracking the needle on the cdi. Never try and track a radial on the outbound; leave the cdi on the inbound course.
Ideally the inbound course should be 1 minute, so you may have to make the outbound leg longer/shorter depending on wind.

If you are referring to holding at a waypoint in the air, automated holds unfortunately aren’t implemented yet. There, only heading works.
