Yes, I do have both FAA and JAA instrument ratings and I am current.

The question is pretty simple:
There's an approach procedure that starts at a VOR which is e.g. 6 nm from the runway threshold and over the same VOR you have a RACETRACK REVERSAL (e.g. 4nm inbound leg) that will let you descend to the required altitude for the approach.

Over the same VOR you have a HOLDING (with 1 minute inbound leg) and you are cleared to the HOLDING first and then after let's say 2 minutes you are cleared for the approach (so now you descend to minimum VOR altitude to join the RACETRACK REVERSAL and follow the approach procedure).

How do you do that on an Airbus FGMS and Boeing FMS?
On the ProLine 21, once you choose the approach and the racetrack is loaded, if you try to add a holding before the racetrack it automatically replaces the racetrack with the new holding you want to insert.

Thanks.
