In VFR conditions, most go to the overhead pattern. For formation landings
and instrument work, straight-ins are the rule.

Not for the overhead arrival, after the break the aircraft will be slowed to

Ah, thats what I figured. Do they typically arrive doing a break over
the field, or do they mainly just fly a straight in approach?
