When I first started training for the IR I read all the techniques (thumb, overlay, etc.) but after a couple hours on 'em I began to look at the intersection, read back the clearance, and it just becames obvious which entry to use. The only time I screw it up is when my inbound heading is right at the edge of the boundary of the different entries. Then I have to think a little bit. But usually ... just look at it and visualize per the readback.
I wonder if there is someway to teach an IR student to become intuitive with entries? To just look at it, read back the clearance and instantly visualize the hold? I'm definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer and I figured if I caught on ... anyone could.
What do you pros do in the rare event you're given a hold? I guess at your level of experience you instantly recognize the entry?
