I can safely say that no RAF FJ or basic training types can enter a hold by punching buttons on a FMS. Therefore the manual way of doing it is of some small interest to a few of us! BEagle, thankyou for your patience in answering; with any luck a bit more KISS will be forthcoming from the CIREs out there when the 'new' holds are universally applied.
All IRT candidates out there, particularly those in the clutches of 22 Gp - join your next hold straight in and if the IRE pulls you up on it, point him at the FIH! The holding revolution starts here!
