And holds for how long without an EFC?


As long as he chooses.


Which begs the question, why hold at all? A supe of mine who has several
thousand hours as a pre-strike freight dog told me he'd make one turn in the
pattern and then continue on (assuming IMC/ lost comm etc), but he couldn't
defend the "why" of it. These non-radar paper-stop rules don't seem to
stand on their own very well, IMO.
