non-vectored NDB IAF

Let me join the fray. There is no need whatsoever to intercept the 207
bearing from the NDB and track it outbound, so how about (either heading
090
or 90 degrees to the FAC) turning to 207 plus/minus a wind guess at
station
passage, timing a couple of minutes or more, depending on the
wind...making
an extended holding pattern, IOW, and turning back to an intercept heading
somewhere between 340 and 000? Makes sense to me. Only those pilots who
are
wedded to the 45-180 course reversal would do that much maneuvering.

Is an "extended holding pattern" a permitted course reversal for any
approach, or does the hold have to be charted (as it is at PQF, presumably
for the missed approach)?
