Wondered if anyone could give me the benefit of their experience or any clever tips on the following:
I am shortly to take my UK IMC rating flight test. One thing I find it hard to get my head around in the air is which hold entry I
should perform based upon the hold orientation and my entry heading - parallel,
offset or direct?
My instructors advice was to draw a picture of it on my plog before getting airborne, but I can't see this will help much when I end up having to divert to an unfamiliar airfield, then get sent into the VOR or NDB hold and have to cope with trying to work this out whilst aviating, navigating & communicating.
Any help would be much appreciated.
