Where are holding procedures described?

• A. en route section 3.6
• B. en route section 2.6
• C. meteorological services 3.5
• D. airspace structure 2.0

Answer: (A)

Holding procedures are ATC procedures published for en route operations, so they belong in the En Route part of the AIP. This section contains the details of routing, ATC instructions, and the published holds at fixes that you would follow while en route. The other sections cover weather services and forecasts (not holding patterns) and the structure and classification of airspace (which describes where and how airspace is arranged, not how holds are flown). So the place where you’ll find the published holding procedures is the En Route section that deals with en route ATC procedures.
