Static, I appreciate your experience but you don't seem to have adapted your experience to light aircraft flying. A typical approach to the airfield I use:
Fly overhead, check the wind direction.
Do a circuit to the East of the field.
Avoid the farmhouse and the row of houses behind it (go through the gap).
Make the base turn inside of the electricity pylons.
Side slip, round out, close throttle and taxi in to tumultuous applause from the assorted rabbits and birds watching the performance.
VASI, PAPI who the Hell are they????????
Here in the UK, if you fly as you describe you would not be welcome in most airfields cos you'd get the complainers roaring.
