Then we turn base to final. To me this seems like normal pattern entry. I could be wrong as it is probably a normal arrival procedure for the airport for arrivals from the west. Anyone familiar with this approach?
Yeah, that is pretty typical, but it sure is A LOT wider than a C172 on pattern, haha

I THINK there's a visual approach plate that takes over Dodger Stadium and takes you around like a normal traffic pattern.
