Watch out for how it describes holds: the GPS *always* uses "course to" to
describe the inbound leg. If the fix is a VOR, ATC will have probably said
"on the XXX radial", which is essentially "course from".

That does the same thing really as just sequencing back to the holding
fix on the expanded approach. It assumes you are want to go to
immediately to the holding fix and perform the pattern entry.


I once actually found a use for the Parallel Track stuff. Coming back to
HPN, ATC gave me "Direct Tappan Zee Bridge". The bridge isn't in the
database, but I was heading south and I know the bridge is about 5 miles
west of the airport, so I just put in "direct HPN" and selected a parallel
track offset 5 miles to the right :-)

Time for some user waypoints :-).
