Which location is the exception to the left-turn holding rule, requiring right turns?

• A. Spencer
• B. Pond
• C. Juniper
• D. Pond Creek Bridge

Answer: (C)

In holding patterns, the default is to fly left turns around the fix. An exception happens when a hold is published as right-handed, meaning you rotate to the right on each leg to stay in the protected airspace or to avoid terrain or traffic conflicts. Juniper is that exception here because the published holding pattern at Juniper is right-handed, so you would make right turns around the fix. The other locations follow the standard left-turn pattern, so they’re not the exception.
