I'll bite. What is a p-t-d entry? Parallel, Teardrop, Direct??? So it's
now one entry? Or are you saying you can go fly holds and enter any which

thereof) anyway.


I'm saying exactly that. The only requirement is to stay within
holding airspace.

The FAA finally wised up a few years back, and removed the requirement
from the PTS. Nevertheless, it remains a part of the written, while
knowledge of important things like obstaccle departure procedures
remains ignored on both the written and the practical test, and lives
are no doubt lost as a result. It's idiotic.
