Maybe the real test is for all these hotshot gun toting stuff the 45
degree entry pilots to take the practical test again fly their normal way and see whether they would get a pink slip. Please don't use the Private Pilot Test Standards as the basis of your argument as some of us were trained beyond them. A pattern entry should be based on judgment, not herd mentality. One size does not fit all. Base your approach on terrain, traffic, your airplane and any other factors that may be present. Hopefully, anyone who has earned a PP has the ability to merge his or her airplane into a pattern full of traffic in a seamless manner using an entry that helps the flow. I think the root of this debate is that most pilots today are not taught to control their airplanes in the pattern. They can't fly slow, and they don't know to look first and talk later.
