  • $\begingroup$ I'm so stale on this stuff, but let me take a stab. My first impulse is that you're assuming that the pilot would execute the same type of turn to establish OB regardless of the flight path's resulting orientation to the hold. Ensuring the aircraft remains on the protected side is always goal. So instead of a direct entry to the OB as depicted, wouldn't you want to execute either a teardrop or parallel entry to the hold, which usually terminates about halfway through a normal hold entry once the aircraft is oriented to allow you to establish OB? Does that make sense? $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 12, 2020 at 15:24
