DME teardrop holds

[boratron]

Hello,

i am studying for my FAA CFI-I and have a question about DME teardrop holds.

If the hold i am doing has 1 NM legs, i fly to the fix, fly 30 degrees in the opposite direction ton the hold for 1 NM and then turn SRT inbound, that im OK with.

If the hold leg lengths are 6nm for example, i have been told you fly that first 30 degrees also for 6 miles and then turn inbound. The trouble is, if you turned inbound at SRT you would be nowhere near the inbound course.

What is the correct procedure???

thanks
