When an aircraft is issued holding instructions, the delay is ATC initiated, and the EFC is other than “no delay
expected”:
Enter a hold message.
Maintain a paired track.
Enter an EFC time via a hold message, the Hold Data Menu, or the Hold View.
Enter non-published holding instructions via a hold message or the Hold Data Menu.
NOTE: The ERAM hold message allows automatic calculation and reporting of aggregate delays.
Unless otherwise specified in a facility directive, verbally coordinate non-published holding instructions when
handing off an aircraft in hold status to another ERAM sector.
An EFC time entered into the Hold Data Menu, Hold View, or the hold message constitutes coordination of the EFC
between ERAM sectors.
