It occurs to me that you can switch to NAV when inbound, then HDG once passing the hold waypoint. Will the older G1000 work with that method? I am used to the G3X which is very smart regarding holds.
I got confused about this at first too but then rememberd that victor airways aren't labeled based on headings. They're just given random numbers that have nothing to do with direction. For example, you could have V189 going in a NE direction or V1 on a 335 radial. In the video, it looks like V134 is based off the 247 radial.
Perfect, thank you!

It will work, but unless you have the hold build on the FMS, heading mode is more intuitive, and less risk of changing the automation modes.
Your 134 radial example is incorrect. It is either 134 outbound or 314 inbound.
Think you are confusing V134 which is an airway as a radia/course. But will check it out and see if we see the error you are talking about.
