Here's the question as stated in the Jeppesen Instrument Commercial manual: Inbound to the PJG VORTAC on a magnetic heading of 060 degrees you receive the following clearance: "...cleared to the PJG VORTAC, hold south of the VOR on the 160 radial, left turns..." Which holding pattern entry should you use?
I was thinking Direct entry. The book says Parallel entry is correct. Ok, my holding course is 340 degrees inbound, left turns. Picturing the imaginary line 110 degrees perpendicular from my holding course would be 090 and 270 degrees. (After drawing this out) On a heading of 060 degrees would put my entry on the Direct entry sector. I should just be able to turn left upon reaching the VOR and make my 1st 180 to join the outbound leg, correct? Can someone please put this in terms I can understand.
