If the hold is for course reversal in lieu of a procedure turn



... so if you enter teardrop, turn and establish yourself inbound,
you just continue inbound? The teardrop entry counts as a circuit?

Yep!\


THE WORDS FROM THE AIM:

The holding pattern maneuver is completed when the aircraft is
established on the inbound course after executing the appropriate entry.\

That's what I meant by "yep!" to Jose question.

Yeah, I knew that...just amplifying on the requirement.

Sam, you can't start descent during the turn once you cross over onto
the holding side?

you start descent then?


When you roll out inbound.

No. The protected airspace for the holding pattern is a giant oval
(relatively speaking) that is much larger than the intermediate segment
that underlies it. Once you leave the minimum altitude shown for the
hold you must be within the confines of the intermediate segment.

This is a simplification of the TERPs contructions, but it makes the point.
