But surely, if asked to 'orbit' there is no requirement to return to where you started out from?
If you are asked to 'take up the hold in your present position' that is another matter all together.
In my view an orbit merely consists of a 360 degree turn to the left or right and to roll out again on the entry heading. Clearly however if you are orbiting on final approach it is desirable to end up back on the centreline
