I’m flying an RNAV approach in the PC-12 NGX. I think I’ve got the flight plan added correctly. However, I get this long oval loop at the waypoint before the TOD and the flight plan says “Holding”. I’ve flown this route before trying to learn RNAV and I didn’t have the loop. Don’t know what I did differently this time. Any advice will be appreciated.

Depending upon the Transition and the direction your plane is taking towards the approach, the FMS may insert a Course Reversal turn which is designed to give you (manually) or the Autopilot enough time to get on final approach bearing.

Thanks. Encouraging to know it is not something screwed up.
