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 />
