When breaking off an instrument approach
in VMC, once told to change to advisory, maneuver as needed to enter a
standard VFR pattern, including breaking off a straight in approach to
an in-use runway and join the pattern.

But isn't a straight-in approach part of a perfectly valid VFR pattern? Why
bother flying around the town when you're already lined up for finals?
