Specify leg length in minutes if the pilotrequests it or you consider it necessary.e. Direction of holding pattern turns only if leftturns are to be made, the pilot requests it, or youconsider it necessary.PHRASEOLOGY−HOLD (direction) OF (fix/waypoint) ON (specified radial,course, bearing, track, airway, azimuth(s), or route.)If leg length is specified,(number of minutes/miles) MINUTE/MILE LEG.If direction of turn is specified,LEFT/RIGHT TURNS.NOTE−It is mandatory for the controller to issue left or right turnsevery time a holding pattern is issued for MLS.f. Issue maximum holding airspeed advisorieswhen an aircraft is:1. Approved to exceed the maximum airspeedof a pattern, and is cleared into a holding pattern thatwill protect for the greater speed; or2. Observed deviating from the holding patternairspace area; or3. Cleared into an airspeed restricted holdingpattern in which the icon has not been published.EXAMPLE−Due to turbulence, a turboprop requests to exceed therecommended maximum holding airspeed. ATCS mayclear the aircraft into a pattern that protects for theairspeed request, and shall advise the pilot of the maximumholding airspeed for the holding pattern airspace area.PHRASEOLOGY−“MAXIMUM HOLDING AIRSPEED IS TWO ONE ZEROKNOTS.”4−6−5.
