ATC Holding clearance - why holding side?
When ATC gives a holding clearance, why do they give the side to hold on (N, NE, E, etc)?
The side will always be based on the radial from the fix and the direction of the turns, right?
For example, Hold on the 230° Radial (standard turns) would always be the same as Hold southwest on the 230° Radial (standard turns).
