A link to help, perhaps

But, if, you track 313 to a hold and supposedly on that track you cross over the fix of DTY 240 /22 DME (inbound is actually 060) are you direct join? Sorry, I haven't got Panops in front of me and if it was a FIX determined by a VOR tx on the ground I could happily say fly wings level after crossing the fix for 'angle' (73 degrees) to the inbound track divide by 10 times 2, answer in seconds. Then turn outbound.
Well, as Beagle says, this is not likely to happen in real life.

I realise you're based in the UK. But pages 12 to 14 of this document explain it much more simply than PANSOPS and are essentially identical to UK procedures anyway. You might like to spend a minute looking at it - or the UK equivalent.

BTW, it's PANSOPS - the S stands for "Services". Sorry to be pedantic about it!
