Trying to stay fresh on instrument regs, and I'm reviewing when you are able to bypass a procedure turn. I'm reading that if you perform a teardrop entry for a hold, you may. Does that mean you have to do the entire hold before proceeding the approach when you do a parallel entry?

$\begingroup$ In that case, yes, the "teardrop" in your question and my answer is not the same one that you do when entering a hold. You might want to edit the title of your question to reflect that. $\endgroup$Steve V.– Steve V.2015-12-11 15:28:59 +00:00Commented Dec 11, 2015 at 15:28

1$\begingroup$ The rule of thumb is overfly the holding fix twice. The first time cross it fly the proper entry and the second time you pass it you are on course and continue with the procedure. $\endgroup$casey– casey2015-12-11 16:03:09 +00:00Commented Dec 11, 2015 at 16:03

I suspect you are thinking of AIM 5-4-8 (b)(2) [page 5-4-31], which states:
- When a teardrop procedure turn is depicted and a course reversal is required, this type turn must be executed.
If so, have a look at the Instrument Flying Handbook, page 7-31. The teardrop procedure turn is not referring to the same thing as a teardrop entry into a hold-in-lieu-of-procedure turn, it's something different entirely.
