Holding

The Holding Info add-on aims to provide detailed information about the flights' holding patterns as detected by our system from ADS-B data. This add-on captures crucial parameters related to holding events, enabling users to analyze the duration, frequency, and characteristics of holding patterns for individual flights. The data is stored on a per-flight basis, ensuring precise tracking and reporting. Additionally, we offer the capability to aggregate this data based on various subjects such as specific airports, FIRs (Flight Information Regions), or countries, allowing for comprehensive analysis and reporting at different levels.
