Don't you trust the regional turboprop captain to be using the into wind runway

With broadcast AWIS and/or the agents on the ground they already know what the wind is so they can plan a downwind join, which should be keep them away from the windsock gander airspace. Or even better, a straight in approach that keeps them out of (most of, anyway) the circuit.

Situational awareness must come into play - no one wants an AirProx - the paperwork You heard the Regional. They heard you. You're both in the circuit so the "See and Avoid" surely would work since you know where each other roughly are - don't have to look at ALL the sky just a wee bit of it.

..... what to do now with those ultralights when I want to do a practice day visual circling approach at 300' ....
