OUTBOUND PARALLEL

The final quadrant (which is generally larger than the teardrop and smaller than the direct

entry) refers to an O u t b o u n d Parallel entry and is labeled either RT or LT, opposite to the

direction of turns in holding.

Once you have crossed the fix, turn your aircraft to published heading for the outbound leg.

Fly this heading out to the outer OME limit, then turn toward the holding pattern and fly the

inbound radial (see Figure 16).
