Given that you fly the midfield crossover at pattern altitude + 500 feet
this shouldn't be an issue...


But I don't! We fly the crossover at TPA. That's what I do, and that's
what I've seen dozens of other pilots do.

Otherwise you are descending onto the downwind, which my instructor
says is a no-no. Do everything in or near the pattern at TPA, says he.

Ever heard of a standard overhead joining proceedure?
