I'd like to know what the members of this group think about straight in vs
full pattern entry.

Excuse the cross posting but I want to be sure I cover all the bases.

Yet another post that I would not touch with a 10 foot Pole. In fact, I
would not touch it no matter how long your Pole is.

When I'm coming into SHD, I always call for traffic. If nobody answers and the
wind is favorable, I always use a straight in approach. Here in the Northeast,
frequency congestion is so bad that I almost always just fly a full pattern.

I don't like straight-ins -- I prefer overhead approaches, as it gives
me a better view of who is in the traffic pattern.

If you cover "base" that precludes a straight-in approach.

If you're not going to bother anyone, do whatever you want. Split-S to
final is fine with me.

thats one heck of a group to be x-posting to about entries
alt.binaries.erotica.pictures.senior-citizens

by the looks of that group, a straight in entry is only past memories

Oh well, another one over the backstop.

Instead of straight in, I will do a 45-entry to base.
It doesn't add any time and gives a better view of the pattern.
