QNH... I think I understand your explanation, which is a good thing, but the only question I have is when to fly over the holding point.
Do you enter the holding pattern by flying overhead the holding point on the outbound leg or do you go overhead at the end of the inbound leg....
edited: you're post said join abeam the holding point so I assume this means that the inbound leg is flown along the track specified to overfly the holding point before a rate 1 turn right for the next outbound leg. If this is correct my question now becomes...
Do you have to position to join at the beginning of the outbound leg irrespective of where you are coming from or can you join on the inbound depending on your track in relation to the published holding track
