Hold east on 270 radial?

[mtuomi]

Saw this elsewhere but didn't want to 7500 that thread. How would you hold east on 270 radial if the fix is the VOR?

That would be quite an accomplishment seeing as how it's impossible to do.

You sure the fix was the VOR and not a point on the radial?

You can't hold east of the VOR on the 270 degree radial but you can, for example, hold east of the 10 mile fix on the 270 degree radial of the VOR.

On another thread:

"Yep, that's how someone can hold East on a 270 radial...."

That got me asking...

Did you get deep enough in the thread to find out if they meant at the VOR? As I mentioned, yes, you can hold east "on" a 270 radial. Just not "at" the VOR. If they meant "at" the VOR, I'd sure be interested in learning how.

I think it was just a mistake on the part of the author.

If it's impossible, that's </thread>. That's all I wanted to know

It's possible...just gotta fly for about 20,000+ miles east before picking up the 270 radial.

Ah. Thanks for pointing out the thread.

No, I don't think the comment, which was kind of tossed in and really had nothing to do with the discussion, was a mistake. It was kind of what I suspected, but a non sequitur within the context of that discussion (holds weren't being discussed and the OP's question was answered in the first post).

I think it was pointing out that if the hold at AWEGA were an east/west hold with the inbound course of 092, it could be defined as a hold east of the 17.8 mile fix on the FMG 272 radial.

Nope, not a mistake. If the fix is not the VOR you can hold East on a West radial. Hold East on the 10 DME, 270 Radial of the ABC VORTAC.

I suppose I could have specified that it would only work if the VOR is not the fix.

Yep.
