Question about entry into Reversal Procedure
Hello everyone,
ICAO DOC 8168 PANS-OPS Figure I-4-3-4 shows a diagram that has a +/- 30 degree segment where you can go straight into the outbound leg for a 45/180 Reversal procedure. The remaining 300 degree segment has a note that says:
"Arrivals from this sector must enter the holding prior to the reversal procedure"
My question is whether a hold entry manoeuvre, eg flying a teardrop or parallel entry to then be established on the inbound track towards the beacon satisfies "enter the holding", or whether it is required to complete the entry, and then actually go once around the hold, before commencing the outbound leg of the reversal procedure.
I've read before the debates/questions on entry into Racetrack procedures, but couldn't find anything specifically about Reversal procedures.
Many thanks,
Shortcut
