Hello. Could anyone clarify this for me? The IPH (pp. 4-17, 18) states "An aircraft that has been cleared to a holding fix and subsequently "cleared...approach," normally does not receive new routing. Even though clearance for the approach may have been issued prior to the aircraft reaching the holding fix, ATC would expect the pilot to proceed via the holding fix that was the last route, and the feeder route associated with that fix, if a feeder route is published on the approach chart, to the AIF to commence the approach."
Q1. When it refers to a "holding fix" here, it means the last fix of the route cleared in the flight plan. Correct?
Q2. When it states "An aircraft that has been cleared to a holding fix and subsequently cleared...approach, normally does not receive new routing," what exactly does it mean by "does not receive new routing."?
