Maybe I didn't explain it well. Say you've got a right-hand hold where you track (magnetic) north inbound and south outbound. No wind.

Arriving from between 110 and 290 degrees it is a direct entry, 290 to 000 is teardrop and 000 and 110 is offset/parallel. In my example, say you're tracking to the beacon on the 295 radial, so it's direct entry, and you have to turn through 180+65 = 245 degrees to the outbound leg. Do that all in one rate-1 turn and you'll be on the right track but too close in to the beacon to do another rate-1 turn to the inbound track... so how do you adjust it?
