hello there.
Low time pilot there.
Normal entry procedure for a non towered airport as I learned it is either on a 45 for a downwind entry or over the field for e left or right downwind entry into the pattern.
If you are 10 miles away inbound and scanning the frequency and making the appropriate calls as you get close and find out that apparently you are the only one approaching for landing (minus of course the idiot that stays off the radios and enter the pattern), my question is if it’s ok to declare a straight in landing for rwy X and proceed inbound for such approach, or should I stick to the normal entry procedure regardless if traffic is present or not?
Thanks for the help.
