I did find one page that
talked about an upwind entry into the crosswind, and it argued that if you
are
at pattern altitude, you aren't likely to meet other traffic, but that
seems
like an extraordinarily dangerous assumption given the variability of
climb
rates, runway lengths, departure points on the runway, and so on. It's
even
more dangerous if someone decides to go around.


Ever heard of a radio? If someone's going around, and you're close enough to
be in their way, then you're a) going to hear their calls on the radio,
and/or you're looking for traffic anyway.

unless they dont have a radio
