Final Approach
This question is actually an extension of a discussion about Gaston’s (listed as a public airfield) and left/right pattern.
If we are talking about private airports, do the same rules apply?
When we submitted our private airport to the FAA, they “suggested” (their word) we use right hand pattern for one of our runways d/t nearby towers. If they “suggest” that pattern, are we obligated to use it, even if it is a private airport? If we hadn't submitted it, then our left hand patterns would have been acceptable?
