Jarse's Proven Process:

Left hand for a left pattern. Right hand for a right pattern.

1. When tracking directly to the hold fix, align your index finger straight ahead on the HSI.

2. Spread thumb and second finger like Mr. Spock. The angle between your index finger and thumb could be considered 110 deg (Parallel or sector 1). The angle between your index finger and second finger could be considered 70 deg (Offset or sector 2).

3. What is the OUTBOUND track of the hold? Find where it falls on your HSI. Between thumb and index finger? Sector 1. Between index finger and second finger? Sector 2. Everywhere else (in the bottom of your HSI) is Direct entry.
