Straight in approaches have always been acceptable as long
as you can do it safely, maintain visual, give right of way
to lower aircraft, be aware of A/C in the patten, announce
your position/intentions, etc. etc. etc. It is highly
recommended to do a standard pattern entry to the downwind
leg of the pattern.


An aircraft on final has the right-of-way.
