Instrument Procedure Question

[A Squared]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say your not instrument rated yet. What you are seeing is a hold in lieu of a procedure turn so that you can get established on the inbound course.

That's quite a tenuous limb you crawled out on there. I don't see anything in the original pose which suggests that he a) isn't instrument rated, b) Doesn't understand the purpose of a racetrack pattern on an IAP.
