Question Tips and tricks for sector entry, holding patterns etc ...

G'day All,

I was wondering if anyone would like to share their favourite tips and tricks to successful sector entry, holding pattern and instrument approaches. For example, I have been told to delay the outbound turn for ten to fifteen seconds after station passage on a sector three entry. This is meant to allow a correct abeam spacing on the outbound leg. Of course, this will only be necessary in some cases depending on the track in. In addition, what is the best way to intercept the correct track to the aid on a sector one or two entry? Is it a good idea to use a 30 degree intercept to the correct track inbound?

In anticipation,
Two Dogs
