At that point, you proceed on course as directed by air traffic control. If you take off from Runway 27, you intercept and track the PDZ R-030 radial inbound and make a direct entry tracking the PDZ R-078 radial outbound, using non-standard left turns.

How to Fly the Perfect Holding Pattern (Entry, Wind Correction, etc.)

Pilot Institute

Air Traffic Control (ATC) uses these procedures to delay aircraft. Most holding fixes are NAVAIDs such as VORs, RNAV (GPS) waypoints, and even ILS markers. When VORs are used as holding fixes, the fix is usually a specific DME distance on a particular radial. You are looking for the RNAV approach into runway 17R.

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. The reroute was minimal, an insertion of Yardley VOR (ARD) into my flight plan. Foolish mortal.

I think this because whenever multiple aircraft depart Sodus bound for the same destination, we almost always pique the curiosity of air traffic control. We were cleared direct to College Park via the Westminster VOR (EMI). While this seems obvious to me, the notion seems rare in aviation. What's going on at X today?"
