| Nov 22, 2020 at 12:58 | comment | added | Gerry | @DeanF. Arriving from the southeast - heading northwest - a right turn will put you on a left upwind for rwy 5. Generally, I would expect the tower to tell me where to join the pattern (and the direction), provide vectors to final, or indicate a straight-in approach. If ATC instructions aren't clear, ask for clarification. | |

| Nov 22, 2020 at 2:55 | comment | added | Dean F. | What country is this in? I know that flying in certain areas, you are expected to include the upwind and downwind in your inbound traffic pattern. The US is not one of them. None that I know of advocate joining the traffic pattern on the crosswind. Why did you just not join the left downwind for runway 5 at a 45° angle (initially a right turn) if you were coming from the Southeast? | |
