3.1 ‘No delay expected’ means in these circumstances:
‘Do not anticipate being required to remain in a holding pattern longer than 20 minutes before commencing an approach’.
Gotta luv that European English! It's good to know that "no delay" could mean a 20-minute delay. That might take 2/3 of your "final reserve" fuel!
