I wanted to clarify that I'm asking about the upper bound. Do you have to ask permission to fly more than one hold on an RNAV approach?
Sep 13, 2016 at 16:39 comment added D. Patrick @ymb1, roger. Just didn't want it to get de-duped before I got an answer. :) I'm pretty sure it's once, but I can't find a reg that states it as clearly as I'd like. To be sure, I understand that all bets are off when you're getting vectored (or otherwise directed) by ATC and that, as PIC, you're welcome to make any request you feel is in the best interest of the safety of the flight.
Sep 13, 2016 at 16:36 comment added user14897 @D.Patrick I understand, it's just a possible dupe. Other answer says when in contact with ATC things differ. Also you can always ask for whatever you want from ATC. If there's a baby on board you can even ask for a very shallow descent for the baby's ears.
Sep 13, 2016 at 16:36 comment added D. Patrick @J.Hougaard, do you mean that racetrack is vernacular for "hold-in-lieu-of-procedure-turn?"
Sep 13, 2016 at 16:35 comment added D. Patrick @ymb1, it's not a duplicate. I specifically mentioned that it's required at least once unless otherwise specified. My question is specifically regarding the upper bound on the number of laps around the hold. Is it indeed designated as 1 or is that up to the discretion of the pilot?

Sep 13, 2016 at 16:32 comment added user14957 Technically it is not a holding; it is a racetrack.
