On top of all that, what if the instrument approach happens to be
downwind,
That happened to me the last time I flew. I was announcing a take off on
runway 35 while a student with an instructor were announcing a 1 mile final
on runway 17.
They were practicing ILS approaches so they had to land downwind on runway
17. I had to jog out of their way on the climb out.
They *HAD* to do nothing of the sort. They *SHOULD* have broken off the
approach at some reasonable altitude and circled to land on the runway in
use. If you want to practice downwind landings, go to a towered airport
and let ATC control the traffic for you.
