Hold at Waypoints (HOLD AT)
A holding fix creates a new HOLD AT waypoint following the leg to that
waypoint.
Displayed on the RTE LEGS page in the proper route sequence after executing the
related MOD RTE HOLD page.

ROUTE DISCONTINUITY
The entered route must always form a continuous path of linked legs.
The example depicts a HOLD AT entry where the entry was not a downpath
waypoint.
The FMC computes a direct course to the off–route holding fix.
The HOLD AT waypoint becomes a termination identifier which is not part of the
existing route. The resulting route discontinuity is identified by box prompts,
requiring entries to define the route after PLUSS.
