Better to ask politely for people to  approach in an orderly manner than have them come from every which-way. At least if people approach along the same path, it makes it easier to "See & Be Seen" Or am I a fool who thinks that normal people are happy to cooperate?

 

 

Yes however they will be coming from every which-way to the initial "approach point". Aircraft could be going head to head as they turn towards the airport. Then there could be over taking on the confined approach path. It will also add to radio calls required and they will no longer be standard.  

 

With normal CTAF circuit procedure everyone should approach with the runway on their left and only turn left as they descend into the circuit 

 

All the Nat fly, Ausfly, Old Station etc events have used standard circuit procedure.

Excellent point, Glen. Those of us with a less than perfect screen will be affected.

Civil twilight is around 5:50 pm at that time of year. The high country is to the east.

Well how the Hell do the Lanes of Entry work at places like Bankstown? 

 

This is where the start of the several lanes of approach that I worked out:
