My autopilot, S-Tec 55, won't do more than a 90% standard rate turn, and
that is only in the high-gain capture mode. If you make the predefined oval
large enough so that such a turn will get you rolled out on the inbound
course in the presence of a stiff xwind from either side, I suppose you can
make it work. For published holds, the containment airspace is already
defined, and may be constrained in some areas due to adjacent airspace and
ATC considerations.


Restraintt of holding patterns for ATC purposes is very limited, the
most common being using 210 knots in place of 230 knot patterns.
