The 1 min timing (or 1½ min above 14.000 feet) - is that in Your opinion
inbound or outbound leg? Doc 8168 says "outbound no wind" - but that might

In the US, the timing is for the inbound leg. The timing for the outbound
leg gets adjusted to achieve the 1 minute or 1 1/2 minute inbound leg
timing:

Here is what the AIM says:

The initial outbound leg should be flown for 1 minute or
1 1/2 minutes (appropriate to altitude). Timing for
subsequent outbound legs should be adjusted, as
necessary, to achieve proper inbound leg time.

Thanks - if it is like that in the US, it surely must be in Europe as well?

It's the outbound timing , Timed out abeam the aid or after rolling out in outbound heading with rate one or 25 degrees AOB whichever requires lesser bank. Correction for known winds both in heading and timing must be given so as to fly the desired track. authority - DOC 8168
