What is a "racetrack to ILS"? LFAT ILS13 (and is OKPEM a hold or not?)

Annex 4 that is ;-) Aeronautical Charts
There used to be 10 years ago or so a eurocontrol task force task force to have the 1/500.000 (VFR) charts harmonised.

Peter should have flown in my opinion a parallel entry over OKPEM then outbound on 139 for 1 minute and fly back with a right turn to OKPEM and request if he was cleared for the approach when turning inbound OKPEM.

It’s unneccessary 4 minutes of flying around the hold (in addition of pilot deviation of flying it without clearance).

If I remember correctly, Peter got his approach clearance shortly before OKPEM where he was previously cleared to fly to. So you do as cleared: cross OKPEM, turn around (using the hold as protected space to do so by flying its parallel entry), fly the approach.

sure I didn’t mention that

I listened to the mp3 some reassurance is not bad it seems and he didn’t get the official clearance for the approach …

The mp3 recording belongs to similar situation in this thread where Peter got cleared ILS13 via TUKVI at the end.

I was referring to the original post where Peter was given ‘racetrack to ILS13’ misleading clearance and silence when querying. He did well: crossed OKPEM, turned around, flew the approach.
