If you've got good kit, you don't really need to worry about it.
Well, quite so - you just programme the hold into the FMS and command the jet to enter....

1 x drift inbound, 3 x drift outbound worked in both the VC10 and the Piper Cherokee.

As for the AoB which gives Rate One, it's θ = arc tan 0.0027463 V, where V is the TAS in knots. So at 210KTAS it would be 30°, hence you'd use 25° for the turns. Whereas at 90KTAS, Rate One would be 14°, so that's what you'd use. At 170KTAS, Rate One equates exactly to 25° AoB....
