Why is a standard hold right turns?
It has always struck me odd that a standard landing pattern is left
turns and a standard hold is right turns. Having a left patterns for landing makes a bit of sense, since the pilot is on the left side of the cockpit and has a better view of the runway making left turns. But, for IFR holds, there doesn't seem to be any advantage to one way or the other. Why did they pick right turns to be standard?
