Why wouldn't you fly a pattern like everybody else?


Because it wastes time and is less safe.



This is a genuine
question. I've always disliked jets coming into uncontrolled fields
on a really long final. I have no way to know how long it will take
them to actually get to the airport from 5, 8, 10 miles out. If
everyone flew a pattern I'd think sequencing and cooperative flow
would be easier.


It wouldn't.
