Example:
The aircraft is 10 NM West of the ABC VOR at 30,000 ft and is told to hold West on the 270 Radial, left turns. Obviously this is a direct entry and upon overflying the fix, the pilot will iniciate a left turn to a 270 heading (assuming no wind).
My Question is this?
Let's say you are busy and overfly the ABC VOR by 5 to 10 miles before you realize what happened and then initiate the left turn to enter the hold, can u do this or is there a NM limit by which you can pass the fix and not get violated?
