Exactly.I had more than my share of trouble with holds. Once I finally understood them (not until I needed to think about teaching them!) I learned to appreciate the three entries, although I'm not religious about any of the dividing lines. I’m more visually oriented than numerical, so I draw the hold (assuming no GPS box drawing it for me) and see what looks right. I generally prefer teardrop to parallel and tend to fudge in that direction.The business about a 70 degree dividing line always seemed to me like an unnecessary distraction from more important matters. I doubt that using 90 degrees instead would cause a significant enough problem to worry about.
Probably why I never noticed it. I've chosen teardrop when the unit has shown me parallelthe GNS 430/530 love to depict the teardrops, when parallel is the proper entry.. Dont believe me, check it out the next time... It made me laugh during my training...
Just follow the magnetta line.
Same here. I call my 430W the “teardrop entry generator.” I think I even caught it recommending a teardrop entry when direct was most appropriate once.the GNS 430/530 love to depict the teardrops, when parallel is the proper entry..

The Navy entry is valid only for high altitude penetration.
