That would make it a fixed point in reference to the earth. Frame of

My CFII didn't really understand holds. He knew how to enter them and
fly them. But he didn't know how ATC called them out and had some other
misunderstandings about them. But, him not knowing the facts on this
subject made ME research holds and other related subjects, so I'll
NEVER forget them now!!

This isn't an argument at all.
