Holding arrival at Echo specifies holding at which point?

Holding arrival at Echo specifies holding at which point?

• A. Hold at Echo
• B. Hold at Fog
• C. Hold at Whiskey
• D. Hold at Juniper

Answer: (A)

Holding arrival at Echo means the hold is established at the fix named Echo. When a clearance or procedure says you’re holding arrival at Echo, you cross Echo and then enter the published holding pattern right there, using Echo as the hold point. The other named fixes (Fog, Whiskey, Juniper) are not the designated hold point unless the clearance specifies them, so Echo is the correct location to hold. This setup helps sequence arrivals for the approach and ensures all traffic stacks safely at the same fix.
