Narrative:

Expect hold at goner intersection issued by ZOB. Vectors to within 3 mi of holding fix before holding clearance issued. Numerous vectors. Set up 091 degree course in VMC vice 271 degrees. Aircraft started to hold west of goner intersection. Error corrected after 1 turn. Supplemental information from acn 301991: numerous vectors for WX and sequencing.

Title: HDG TRACK POS DEV DURING CLRNC INTERP ON AIR HOLDING POS.

Narrative: EXPECT HOLD AT GONER INTXN ISSUED BY ZOB. VECTORS TO WITHIN 3 MI OF HOLDING FIX BEFORE HOLDING CLRNC ISSUED. NUMEROUS VECTORS. SET UP 091 DEG COURSE IN VMC VICE 271 DEGS. ACFT STARTED TO HOLD W OF GONER INTXN. ERROR CORRECTED AFTER 1 TURN. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 301991: NUMEROUS VECTORS FOR WX AND SEQUENCING.
