What's wrong with orbiting at an uncontrolled airfield?
Because no one knows what you are up to if you suddenly launch into an orbit. Bearing in mind you may have non-radio traffic around etc.....

I read the flight guides. Many uncontrolled airfields prefer non overhead joins. Ours does, it prefers straight in arrivals due to noise abaitment.
