What is the purpose of making a left or right turn towards the VFR entry point at the 4-way intersection?

Making a left or right turn towards the VFR (Visual Flight Rules) entry point at the 4-way intersection serves the purpose of helping pilots to re-enter the traffic pattern. The traffic pattern is a standard flight path around an airport that allows for safe and orderly aircraft movements in preparation for landing. By turning towards the VFR entry point, pilots align themselves to join the established traffic flow or pattern, ensuring they can integrate safely with other aircraft that are also maneuvering in the vicinity.

This action allows pilots to position themselves appropriately to make their approach and landing while adhering to the visual traffic rules designed to maintain situational awareness and prevent collisions. Therefore, this maneuver is essential for maintaining safety and organization at busy airports.
