"Bob Gardner" wrote: Then flying away from the pattern and descending to pattern altitude well away from the pattern is the safest solution to the problem you posed. What's the point of that? That requires more turns at low altitude near an airport, increasing collision exposure. Join the pattern as expeditiously as possible (always following right-of-way rules) and get it on the ground. Crossing midfield at pattern altitude gives a good view of the pattern and the windsock and sets you up for an simple turn to the downwind. -- Dan C172RG at BFM
