Narrative

FLT CLRED TO SLC VIA BEARR 2 ARR; BYI TRANSITION AT FL370. APPROX 20 NM W OF BYI; CLRNC RECEIVED TO CROSS POINT 35 MI SE OF BYI AT FL310. THE FO WAS PF AND WAS ON HIS B757 OPERATING EXPERIENCE FLTS. I AM A B757 LINE CHK AIRMAN. WHILE HE WAS PROGRAMMING THE FMC FOR DSCNT; CTR CALLED AND SAID; 'APCH CTL HAS STOPPED ACCEPTING ARRS; MAINTAIN FL370 AND HOLD AT BYI AS PUBLISHED ON THE BEARR 2 ARR; LEG LENGTH OUR OPTION; NO IDEA HOW LONG HOLD WILL BE BUT EFC AC30Z.' AT THIS TIME WE WERE RAPIDLY ACHING BYI; THE HOLDING FIX. FO QUICKLY REPROGRAMMED FMC FOR HOLD AT FL370 AND SLOWED ACFT RAPIDLY TO HOLDING SPD. HE MISREAD THE PUBLISHED DIRECTION OF HOLD; SEEING THE NON STANDARD PATTERN IN THE CTR OF THE CHART AT BEARR INTXN. I FAILED TO CATCH THE ERROR. WE MADE ONE L-HAND PATTERN; WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN R-HAND; BEFORE BEING CLRED OUT OF HOLDING TO CONTINUE ON THE ARR. NO COMMENT FROM ATC REGARDING OUR ERROR. JUST TOO MUCH TO DO IN TOO LITTLE TIME; COMPOUNDED BY TURB AND LACK OF EXPERIENCE ON ONE PLT'S PART. IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO ANTICIPATE EVERYTHING. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 367360: THE CLOSE PROX OF THE 2 HOLDING PATTERNS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO FOCUSING ON THE BEARR HOLDING PATTERN.
