Recently, fooling around on a VFR flight, I created a holding pattern at a waypoint part of a routing in Foreflight and pushed it to Skyview while Autopilot engaged.
The holding pattern appeared correctly on the Skyview map and the Autopilot executed perfectly the Offset entry and the first orbit.
Then it resumed the flight plan, moving to the next waypoint, not repeating the orbit.
Afterwards, I searched Foreflight's and Dynon's settings, and its operating manual but didn't find a way to stay in the hold while on autopilot.
The only option maybe is to set "OBS mode" at the waypoint, suspending the flight plan ??? (Will try on next flight).
Or is this feature (remaining in the holding pattern) only possible from a IFR navigator such as Garmin or Avidyne ??
