There is still a pattern and it is the same as every airport, with a few odd
exceptions for various reasons... But specifically it is the 'entry' that
the controllers will call out that will be different from your standard non
towered 45 degree entry. (And even that is not mandated, but highly
suggested.)

From what I have assumed; At a towered airport, the controllers are
watching
out for you, so there doesn't have to be any pattern. The reason we
normally
fly a pattern is so that everyone knows where to look to be safe. I've
been
to a lot of different towered airports that have given me straight in or
single turn to final procedures. Of course I normally fly during low
volume
times.

Hi pilots, I am new to the group and wanted to see if you guys hear
Non-standard ATC phraseology around places where you fly.
Our tower at Chander, AZ usually request us to report 2 mile base when
entering a traffic pattern. I thought the standard pattern entry was
45
to
downwind or final. If you have any non-standard phraseology or
clearance,
can you please let the group know?

There is no standard entry at a towered airport. The tower will tell
you how to enter the pattern. If he asks for a report that is usually
because he doesn't have radar.
