You've lost comms. Take a look at this approach plate into KLGB (Long Beach) as an example.

You are approaching BECCA which was your clearance limit, and you are in IMC for the purposes of this example and you intend to land at KLGB. There is a hold for a course reversal at BECCA.
Is there a rule for the range of directions (presumably any direction if you are too high) approaching BECCA where you must use the hold as a course reversal?
In other words when a turn is too big that it warrants a course reversal approaching a fix with one? Any relevant reference to the AIM would be awesome.
Thanks!!
