This isn't a bad explanation but A: It is always referenced from you flying a north heading and doesn't explain DME holds. For example say you are flying a heading of 290 but are southeast of a VOR and are told to hold on the VORs 200 radial, southwest of, 10 dme, standard turns. You would approach the fix at ~90 degrees and would then have to turn left 90 degrees to fly 200 deg. outbound from the fix for 1 min then make a left 225 deg turn for a Parallel entry to intercept 020 inbound to fix.

when cleared to hold on a fix 1- tune ident 2- set the vor TO and needle centered 3-fly direct VOR 4- determine the entry 5-inrange and descent checks 6- RAWLEF.. R- Reason for holding might be emergency or high traffic whatever A- approach to expect W-weather L- lower( if you are willing to change your altitude ask center) E- expect further clearance F- fuel make sure you've got enough fuel for t/o departure+enroute+one approach+one missed approach+ flt to alternate+45 minutes cruise
Thank you for putting the CORRECT method on youtube! Nice job. Hold entry guides are for sissys (who have no sense of situational awareness in the hold and want to fail their checkride)!
Great job on this one.. This is my favorite method of determining holding pattern entries. I have added this video to my site along with a link to your site. Thanks again for posting.
yeah great video, never thought of it this way. However, it would also be nice if you would talk about the specific procedures to turn in a parralel and teardrop entry...i know their are like specific things for turning, etc.
Wish my instructors had taught me this technique. Entering the pattern was a non-event, but the hold "SW, NE, SE" etc got me every time. Excellent info, thanks.
This is great. I finally got a visual of what my flight instructor taught me with putting my hand on top of the VOR with a 90 angle between my thumb and index finger.
Ugh. That was a little confusing, I think I need to watch this again. But it is way easier then my Flight Instructor made it. I get it better now. I just have a hard time with the parallel and the tear drop entrees.
Thank you for the info. This really helps me wrap my head around holds procedure turn and entries.

Thats easy, but that method does not apply to intersections[fixes] or DME's..
Or even one like: "Skyhawk123, hold east of the FIM, left turns" and you are coming on 270 inbound"..

I have to say, Jason, I've been having trouble with holding pattern entries. I get it now, excellent video!

The parallel entry looks a bit awkward. Will you not be going against traffic just before entering the holding pattern?

Nice! Great job and graphics. You explained that very well. But I do think I need to watch it again. I'm a little slow.
