QotM
====

At a non-tower controlled airport where pilots are operating under VFR,
does an inbound aircraft completing an IFR approach and planning a
straight-in approach to the runway in use have right of way over the VFR
traffic in the pattern?


Scenario
========

You're the only airplane inbound and ATC has cut you loose to join the
approach as you see fit. However, the more you review the approach chart
the more complex it becomes. The simplest options will be the toughest to
execute given the winds and descent, but the easier options might not be
legit.
