Welcome back! Cronos got one of those big mad rocketships a while back, he seems to like it. Loevly bikes, I love that they look as good and as modern today as when the first one rolled off the production line.

Odd choice of username to resurrect if it isnt Martin given how many usernames here hardly have any posts for a couple of years. If it were akbar or someone of that ilk, then surely a completely new username not often used would be a better bet to hide under an alias with?

Not unless they wanted to deliberately wind us up, in a not too subtle fashion. But who knows? either way, it'll doubtless be good entertainment.

One way to see if its really our old mate or not.....
Whats the landing procedure for an aircraft in a holding pattern who then goes on to declare an emergency and has to be given priority to land?

Depends on the severity of the emergency, the aircraft type, whether you're VFR or IFR!

If you're flying VFR in the holding circuit in single engined craft like a PA-28, or a C-172, the engine fails, then you immediately must pitch the nose down select the best glide speed to prevent the airspeed bleeding to below Vmin. Try and restart the engine, if it fails, Mayday on the active frequency and 121.5, squawk 7700. Look for a suitable place to land at all times keeping the best glide speed until you are absolutely committed to a position. Follow landing checks (if appropriate), unlatch the cabin, and hope for the best if you're not landing on tarmac.

IFR is far more complex. It depends entirely on the situation. Often it will be wise to continue using the relevant STAR in use after the Mayday or Pan call. It is entirely dependent on the location and what traffic is in the airspace. If you decide to declare an IFE at Bovingdon (one of the main holding stacks for EGLL) in zero-zero conditions with a 19020G30KT crosswind the procedure will be very different from declaring in VFR conditions at EGNM when there's bugger all in the pattern.
