I'm looking for some help.
Several of us were sitting around the airport today when a discussion developed about standard airport arrival procedures. Aside from AC 90-66A - Recommended Standards Traffic Patterns for Aeronautical Operations at Airports without Operating Control Tower.
I was quite sure I had read somewhere that as opposed to making standard pattern entries into a pattern, that if you were in proper position, you could utilize a straight in approach to final providing you were at least 3 miles upwind from the airport.
I have searched the FAR/AIM, but have not been able to find this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
