Flights in hold must be placed in which area?

Explanation:
Holds are implemented in a designated holding area to keep traffic separated and sequenced safely. In this system, that area is the Special Procedure Area (SPA), which is defined for holding patterns and radar-assisted sequencing. Placing the hold within SPA ensures it’s inside a managed surveillance environment with appropriate constraints, so controllers can reliably monitor and adjust speed, altitude, and turn radius to maintain separation. The other areas have different roles: ACL marks airspace boundaries, TWR covers the local airport tower operations, and QRA refers to a different radar/sector context not intended for standard holds.
