The question asks you to determine the correct hold entry given a hold south of the 15 DME fix from the Orlando VOR, on the 360° radial, with left turns.

Option 1: Direct
- Direct entry is used when you are already on the outbound leg or in a position that allows you to simply turn to the outbound leg and commence the hold without first maneuvering to a different course.
- In this scenario, you are tracking outbound from the VOR on the 360° radial, and the hold is described as being on the 360° radial with left turns. Since you are already established on the outbound leg of the hold relative to the fix, a direct entry would be to continue on the 360° outbound, cross the fix if needed, and begin the standard left-hand pattern. There is no need to fly a teardrop or parallel maneuver to intercept the inbound course first.
- Therefore, Direct entry is consistent with being on the outbound leg on the 360° radial and then entering the published hold with left turns.

Option 2: Parallel
- A parallel entry would require you to fly the inbound course toward the fix, then turn parallel to the outbound leg and rejoin the hold. This is typically used when you are situated in a way that would necessitate a parallel alignment with the outbound leg before executing the teardrop or direct turn into the pattern.
- In this case, you are already on the outbound 360° leg, and the hold is left-hand. Implementing a parallel entry would introduce an unnecessary maneuver since you are not positioned to require a parallel course to join the pattern; you can simply continue on the outbound leg and enter the hold directly.
- Thus, Parallel is not the most appropriate entry given the described position.

Option 3: Teardrop
- A teardrop entry involves turning toward a 30–45 degree angle to intercept the inbound course, then completing the teardrop leg before proceeding to the hold. This is used when you are offset from the outbound course in such a way that a teardrop angle provides a clean interception of the inbound course to the hold.
- Here, you are already on the outbound leg on the 360° radial, and the hold is left-hand. Executing a teardrop would complicate the path without a required interception of the inbound course, since you can join the hold directly on the outbound leg.
- Therefore, Teardrop entry is not indicated by the situation described.

Putting it together, the most appropriate entry based on the given position (outbound on the 360° radial, hold south of the 15 DME fix with left turns) is Direct, as you would simply continue on the outbound leg and enter the hold as published.
