I don’t fly straight in approaches at uncontrolled airports…ever. I’ll fly a bit out of my way to either cross over for a teardrop entry to downwind or a 45deg to downwind entry, even if a straight in is more “convenient”. I do it for safety and situational awareness because I know there is the potential for a Nordo or “privileged” pilot (who thinks they own the airport) to be around and I want that extra time to look out the window before I land. Trust me I get ribbed when my buddies fly with me when I enter the pattern like this. But I always get them on the ground safely. After all, isn’t that the way we all want to end a flight!!!
