AN ACR FLC DSNDS PAST THE ASSIGNED ALT WHEN THEY BECOME OVERLOADED WITH HOLDING 30 MI S OF CLE; OH.

Narrative

WHILE DSNDING TO FL190; WE RECEIVED A HOLDING CLRNC APPROX 10-15 MI FROM KEATING INTXN. AFTER ENTERING HOLD; I GOT ON THE PA TO INFORM THE PAX AND THEN CALLED COMPANY. DURING THIS TIME; WE RECEIVED DSCNT CLRNCS IN THE HOLD. I FINISHED RADIO WORK WITH COMPANY IN TIME TO ANSWER OUR CLRNC TO 12000 FT. THE CTLR QUESTIONED OUR ALT; AT WHICH TIME WE NOTICED WE HAD NOT RESET OUR ALTIMETER TO 29.52 FROM 29.92. WE QUICKLY CORRECTED OUR ALTIMETER. AFTERWARDS; WE REALIZED WE HAD BEEN RUSHED BY LAST MIN AND UNEXPECTED WORKLOAD. THE HOLD WAS UNEXPECTED; WHICH CAUSED US TO OVERLOOK THE ALTIMETER SETTING. ALSO; IN MY EAGERNESS TO KEEP EVERYONE INFORMED; I NEGLECTED TO BACK UP THE CAPT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 504430: THE CTLR DID NOT ISSUE ANY TFC CONFLICT AND DID NOT ISSUE ANY OTHER CONCERN. FAILED TO FUN THE 'IN RANGE' CHKLIST AT THE PROPER TIME WITH ACCURACY AND MISSED THE ALTIMETER. WE OVERLOADED OURSELVES. NO EXCUSES. 3 MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN FLYING IN ORDER: 1) AVIATE; 2) NAV; 3) COMMUNICATE.
