Default how would you enter this pattern?


Okay, I finally got down to Plum Island yesterday, and guess what? The
wind (such as it was) was the summertime variety out of the NW, so I
landed on 32 after all.

And the radio worked. Perhaps last week there was somebody out there
with a stuck mike. (It was only the first time I'd flown the Cub with
the "new" engine; I assumed it was ignition noise that caused the
squeal when I tried to transmit.)

Thanks, everyone. Of all the suggestions for 14, I like the extended
left base the best. I'd overfly the runway heading SE, then make a
long left turn and descend to TPA perpendicular to 14, i.e.heading 230
degrees. Sounds like a plan!
