T-6B PRIMARY INSTRUMENT NAVIGATION CHAPTER SEVEN<br />

3. Determine the direction of the entry turn.<br />

Figure 7-1 Holding Pattern<br />

The position of the reciprocal of the holding course in relation to the HSI heading index at initial<br />

holding fix passage will determine the direction of entry turn. There will be certain cases in<br />

which the reciprocal will fall on, or very close to, a sector boundary. If the reciprocal is within<br />

5º of a boundary, the entry procedures for either section are acceptable.<br />

a. Standard Holding (Figure 7-2)<br />

i. Sector A (TEARDROP). If the reciprocal is between the heading index and<br />

70º to the right of the heading index, make a Teardrop entry. This is<br />

accomplished by turning in the shortest direction (left or right) to a heading that<br />

is 30º less than the reciprocal of the holding course.<br />

ii. Sector B (PARALLEL). If the reciprocal is between the heading index and<br />

110º to the left of the heading index, make a left turn to parallel the reciprocal of<br />

the holding course.<br />

iii. Sector C (DIRECT ENTRY). If the reciprocal of the holding course does not<br />

meet the criteria listed in (i) or (ii) above, turn right to the reciprocal of the<br />

holding course.<br />
