If instructed to "hold as published" during a missed approach at LNK, which holding entry procedure should be used?

When instructed to "hold as published" during a missed approach, the correct procedure to follow is to utilize the holding pattern as specifically detailed in the published approach chart. The holding entry type provided in this context can vary based on the specific orientation and entry to the holding pattern.

In this case, the parallel entry method is appropriate for many holding patterns where the aircraft will fly to the holding fix, then turn away from the hold, and subsequently return to the holding fix for the turn back into the holding pattern. The parallel entry allows for a smooth integration into the established holding pattern, accommodating the aircraft's position and ensuring a correct alignment with the incoming procedure.

Navigating the hold in this manner also aligns with typical procedures when pilots encounter missed approaches, allowing for a clear and organized transition from the approach to the hold, maintaining safety and situational awareness. The other entry methods—teardrop, direct, and offset—may not be suitable depending on the specific configuration and direction of the holding pattern as established in the published approach procedures.
