Cruising faster at 10000ft reduces the time penalty at the expense of fuel.
After a long flight with an A340–500 or –600, starting the descent some
100nm early would not appear to be significant in the overall flight. However this
can result in a 900kg fuel burn increase and 8 minutes longer block time.

5.5 HOLDING
5.5.1 INTRODUCTION
When holding is required, it is generally flown on a “race track pattern”,
composed of two straight legs plus two 180 degree turns. In a hold the distance
covered is not the primary objective. On the contrary, the knowledge of the
maximum holding time (maximum endurance) is a determining factor for any
diversion decision. As a result, it is important, during holding, to try to minimize
fuel by simply minimizing fuel flow.
For all aircraft, the minimum fuel consumption speed is very close
to the maximum lift-to-drag ratio (Green Dot) speed as shown below. As a result,
in clean configuration, the standard holding speed is selected equal to green dot
speed (GD).

Holding patterns may be quite limiting around certain airports due to
obstacle proximity. Therefore, green dot is sometimes too high, especially during
turn phases where the bank angle can be too significant. As it is not possible to
significantly reduce the speed below green dot in clean configuration, slats may
be extended and a holding done in CONF1 at “S” speed. (min slat retraction
speed Conf 1 to Conf clean).
At other airports, Air Traffic Control may require the hold to be performed at a
certain speed, and it may not be possible fully optimise the fuel burn. In order to

allow flexibility in planning and operations, the FCOM has four different holding
speed and configuration combinations, adapted to each type of aircraft.
The following table gives the configurations and speeds for each type.

For the A300/A310 the first configuration is flap 15, slat 0. For the other
aircraft this is Conf 1. Note that the fourth combination for the A340-500/600 is

5.5.2 VARIOUS CONFIGURATION / SPEED COMBINATIONS
The following graphs show the holding fuel flow variation with weight for the
four different holding configurations. This is done at an altitude of 10000ft.

This graph is for an A300 and it shows the advantage of holding in a clean
configuration at the green dot speed. The clean configuration fixed speed of 240kt
is significantly higher than the green dot speed; hence the large increase in fuel
flow with this technique. The 15/0 configuration with a fixed speed of 210kt is also
significantly higher than the ‘S’ speed, hence higher fuel flows.
The large variation in fuel flow shows how important it is to use the right
configuration and speed, compatible with the other operational requirements.
The A340-200/300 schedules the same hold speeds as the A300, and the
graphs have a similar form with a large increase in fuel flow at low weights with
the fixed speed techniques. However at high weights the difference is much
smaller. There is also a large increase when using Conf 1. Once more holding
clean at green dot speed gives the lowest fuel flow.
The following graph is for the A310 and this shows completely different
