A tower-induced go-round

Further, if you actually read the AIM, you see the patterns in 4-3-3
are recomnended, not mandatory.

.... as is the "local procedure"

Not following the local procedure, while not illegal, is at the
minimum discourteous, and at the worst, dangerous.

Ditto AIM.

If you have a problem with the concept, you need to grow up and learn
to play nicely with others as this has been around since the beginning
of aviation.

I have no problem playing nicely with others. I have a problem with
others telling me deciding for me what I should do, rather than letting
me decide for myself how I want to play nicely with others.

Or not.
