If an examiner failed a candidate of mine on that, I'd have some serious words with him, FSDO, and I'd bring the FAAs Flight Procedures into it as needed.

Here's a question: there's a hold there and you have to make an entry. Surely you would accept that TERPS criteria allow a hold to be entered safely? At what altitude do you think they evaluate the safety of the maneuver, if not the altitude published?
