Offset entry
Interested in hearing some opinions from other pilots on a particular scenario.
In a 1 min holding pattern we normally apply 2-3 Wca for crosswind on the outbound leg to give some space for a wider turn radius as we turn inbound. Assuming traditional technique and no variation of bank angles.
Do you apply any corrections on the offset entry leg, let's say you have a pretty strong crosswind for the type of plane you are flying? Normally we track 30 deg offset on the outbound portion of the teardrop. Would you increase this angle as appropriate to avoid overshooting the inbound radial? I am not sure what is most beneficial obstacle wise, to stray a bit extra further out on the holding side or overshoot the inbound turn into the non-holding side? I have never seen any literature deal with this scenario and I can understand it comes down a bit to personal technique and experience. Like most things in aviation are negotiable I am asking what you would do? Mostly concerns drivers of low speed machines.
