Joining a hold: when do you start your clock?
When joining a hold via the sector 1/parallel or sector 2/offset, when do you start your clock?
I have always taught, and been taught, that it is when 'wings level', and not on passing over the holding facility. Recently, however, a colleague was criticised for waiting ‘til wings level – having been taught to do so at Cranwell; the (OCU) instructor insisted that it was on passing over the facility. I have been looking for a reference, thus far in vain, as to which method is correct. I still maintain it’s wings level, but would graciously accept evidence to the contrary!
Ta, in advance, for any knowledgeable thoughts on this.
