Bird:

the procedure in the FAA far/aim states observe flow of traffic and join on downwind leg.
Not quite...FAR 91.126(b)(2) Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class G airspace, states:

(2) Each pilot of a helicopter or a powered parachute must avoid the flow of fixed-wing aircraft.
