If the flow of aircraft is greater than the facility can cope with, aircraft are delayed by either reducing their speeds en route or detaining them at specified radio fixes within the area of the facility. The latter method is referred to as "stacking". In a stack aircraft navigate around a fix in a racetrack pattern and are separated vertically by 1,000-ft intervals. 1, record 1, English, - racetrack%20pattern
