Question

By not applying any drift correction, the procedure must take longer. The drift corrections also allow you to mentally calculate the wind drift therefore making the inbound procedure easier which is surely what the hold is supposed to do apart from seperating traffic. Hmmm maybe people just dont understand NDB approaches?
