Greetings,
I have an upcoming PC, where the STARS and approaches are all RNAV. As I am preparing, I noticed that on one of the approaches, the holding pattern depicted following the missed approach procedure is a RNAV waypoint, (Place/Bearing/Dist)whereby the hold is standard turn 4 mile legs.
Having said that, I have a couple of questions :
1) Since the hold is based on miles, am I not required to time the hold as a back up in the 'unlikely' event of a LNAV failure ?
2) If there is any timing to be done as a backup, when does the timing begin ?
I have searched the AIP and FAR/AIM but I cannot find any answers. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanking you in advance.
