Thanks for all the inputs.

i would have posted it there, but last time I posted something there I got thrown to the lions. Apparantly asking for advice sometimes people just want to ridicule a perceived lack of ability!

Also it was just a general question about descents in the hold, ZSAM was just an example, I was shooting for a general consensus worldwide.

i very much appreciate the inputs from everyone. Thanks

thr only reason I ask is, as sone have mentioned, if you stay at the MHA, on some procedures, and then turn inbound, your so high, that you’d struggle to make the descent especially with a probable tailwind.
Also, if you had a comms failure, what would be the actions, that’s why I was asking. Obviously in real life they would probably give you descent to an altitude ATC require or you could just ask ATC to clarify.

cheers
