Within how many miles of the localizer are you not to hold?

The important idea here is that there’s a protective distance around a localizer to keep holds out of the final approach area and ensure signal reliability. The localizer’s signal and the maneuver space near the antenna can be tricky, and performing a hold inside that close radius could lead to unstable alignment with the final approach or interference with the inbound course. For safety and procedure integrity, you’re not to hold within a one-mile radius of the localizer; any required course reversal or holding should be done farther out, before entering that zone.
