When arriving at an uncontrolled airport that uses the standard left<br>
traffic pattern, can a pilot of an airplane decide to use right hand<br>
traffic in order to improve safety? An example might be when there are<br>
low clouds adjacent to the airport that would potentially raise a safety<br>
concern for aircraft making a left-hand pattern, but the other side of the<br>
airport is clear with 10-mile visibility.<br>

Scenario<br>
========<br>
<br>
You stayed clear of growing thunderstorms on the way home so far, but<br>
during a needed break for fuel and food, theyve caught up. Now a cell<br>
threatens your departure. If you can get airborne quickly, youll get ahead<br>
of the weather and home. If you can't, you might not fly out until<br>
tomorrow.<br>
