Hello
I was wondering if anyone can show me the holding pattern which speciafally design for cat A and B whihc has 170 kts speed.
It seems that i get this question wrong every single time.
While operating in the BRISBANE, QLD (ABBN) RWY 01 VOR holding pattern at 4000 ft in a category B aeroplane, the maximum IAS which may be flown without ATC approval is -
for such a question i choose 170 kts,but the answer is 230 kts.
If you look at the bottom of the approach chart you will see that Cat C and Cat D operations are not applicable at that airport and holding pattern speed is 170kt maximum. See link below.
