Ok, lets use the top example of the pictures, the OM hold. so im using that has a hold in lieu of a PT, and the leg lengths a 1nm.
I fly outbound r/w heading (say a heading of 270) and reach the OM . i turn to heading of 240 and fly that for 1 nm and then start a SRT to the right to fly back inbound.
Say, for example, the leg lengths are now 6 nm. I fly 270 to the fix, then fly 240 do i fly this portion 6nm? that is what is confusing me?
