entering the hold
Asked by: Kyle Artim 4869 views FAA Regulations, General Aviation, Instrument Rating
Im currently a crew chief in Afghanistan and was having a debate/arguement with an equilivent CFII army pilot. The disagreement was over on entering a hold. He stated you had to enter on one of the standard 3(parallel, tear drop, or direct). I stated that statement was incorrect that there is no correct way to enter as long as you stay at the assigned altitude and on the protected side. And that the FAA recommends the standard 3, but are not mandatory. Via AIM 5-3-7. Is my statement true?
