CHAPTER SEVEN T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION<br />
704. SHUTTLE DESCENT<br />
7-16 HOLDING PROCEDURES<br />
Figure 7-10 Holding at a DME Fix (REDDI)<br />
Objective. A shuttle descent is a procedure used in holding to position the aircraft at a lower<br />
altitude.<br />
Discussion. Descents in holding are normally initiated by ATC. If several aircraft are in holding<br />
at the same fix, they will be placed in a “stack” with altitude separation (usually 1000’). Shuttles<br />
will be used to descend each aircraft to the next lower stack altitude after the bottom aircraft in<br />
the stack has commenced the approach.<br />
Procedure<br />
1. Report leaving current altitude for assigned altitude.<br />
2. Reduce power to 15% torque.<br />
3. Lower the nose to maintain 150 KIAS.<br />
4. Re-trim.
