Sorry if this is a silly question to some, but how do you join procedures such as NDB/DME (-providing you DON'T want to go into the hold first???) Would you join using either tear drop, parallel or direct depending on which direction you were coming from??
Can anyone tell me WHY the hold entry is heading dependant rather than track???
Is there a rule of thumb for calculating the direct entry if you are coming over the beacon at an acute angle, say you add 10 secs? some people state 15 secs??? I guess you would vary this if you are approaching with various angles (still in the direct sector).
My other question is when do you call taking up the hold?? Do you state this when you are actually first entering the hold??
