What type of entry is recommended to the missed approach holding pattern if the inbound heading is 050°?

For a missed approach holding pattern with an inbound heading of 050°, the recommended entry is a teardrop entry.

In the context of instrument flight rules, a teardrop entry is useful when the pilot is approaching the holding pattern at an angle that allows a 30-degree turn to establish on a downwind leg or outbound segment of the holding pattern. This method provides a way to efficiently enter the pattern while providing a clear path back to the inbound course.

A teardrop entry involves flying for a short distance on a heading that diverges from the outbound course—typically no more than 30 degrees—before making a turn back towards the holding pattern. This technique is particularly beneficial when the inbound track is such that the aircraft might otherwise have to execute a longer and more complex maneuver to successfully orient itself into the holding pattern.

When the inbound leg is 050°, initiating a teardrop maneuver allows the pilot to effectively position the aircraft for the subsequent inbound leg while minimizing the risk of overshooting the turn. This entry method draws from standard holding pattern instruction in instrument training, which is aimed at maintaining situational awareness and safety during unexpected situations such as missed approaches.
