Exit hold to commence approach
EISG Sligo NDB DME Appr 29
Hi all,
Quick question. What's the correct course reversal from this hold to commence the approach from the overhead?
my reading is exit 309 for a minute and then left turn back to overhead and then outbound 115 on the procedure.

Under PANS-OPS, when there is a base leg, you are required to enter an alignment holding pattern if your course towards the base leg is not within 30 degrees of the base leg outbound. That would be a standard holding pattern NW of SLG NDB 115 degree inbound, 3,500.

I can't make heads or tails out of that plate, I must not be very smart. Someone wanna explain to me what's going on there? What's that holding pattern even doing there?

Here are all the Jepp charts, so whoever cares, can try to sort it out. There is no doubt in my mind that the proper ICAO compliant was erroneously omitted from the Runway 29 procedure. But, most people probably wouldn't fly the Rwy 29 base leg because of the DME entry routes.

There's a similar hold up the road in Carrickfin (EIDL)
ICAO DOC 8168: When arriving overhead the beacon first time, the heading must be within certain limits(30° of the entry-track). If not, clearance must be obtained to manoeuvre to get within the limits - manoeuvring space

At EIDL the portrayed pattern serves as both the base leg alignment and missed approach holding pattern. That is good design, and typical. They should have done the same for Runway 29 at EISG.
