How can you recognize a HILO procedure turn approach?

• A. Two dark arrows in profile view, and holding pattern with a bold black line in plain view
• B. A single white arrow
• C. A V-shaped symbol
• D. A dashed circle

Answer: (A)

A hold-in-lieu-of procedure turn is shown by a racetrack holding pattern aligned with the approach course, drawn with a bold, heavy line on the plan view, and by arrows in the profile view that depict the outbound and inbound legs of that hold as you reverse course. This combination signals that the approach uses a holding pattern in lieu of a standard procedure turn, letting you reverse course and descend before continuing to the final approach. The other symbols don’t represent this hold-in-lieu setup.
