Definition
Term not recognized as a standard aviation term, abbreviation, or acronym in the Aeronautical Information Manual Pilot/Controller Glossary or other FAA source material. The string 'Mahwp' does not match any known FAA-defined term, navigation aid, procedure, or operational concept. This entry likely reflects an extraction or transcription error from the source document.
Plain English
This is not a real aviation term. It looks like a typo or scanning error from the source material and cannot be defined as written.
Context Anchor
Seen on instrument approach charts and in navigation equipment during the missed approach portion of a procedure.
Why Pilots Care
It gives pilots a safe, pre-planned location to hold while coordinating with air traffic control or preparing for another approach.
Intuition Check
Do not read MAHWP as just any waypoint after a missed approach. It specifically marks the holding point for the missed approach procedure.
Example Sentence 1
No valid example sentence can be constructed because the term is not a recognized aviation term.
Example Sentence 2
ATC instructed the flight to hold at the MAHWP until the runway was clear.
