Today I flew into a class D airport and was going directly to it with a heading of 230. I was northeast of the airport, about 10 miles aw ay. The active runway was 23 and the controller told me to report a 2 mile right base for 23. Does this mean that I don't have to enter the traffic pattern from the 45, fly the downwind and extend the base leg 2 miles? Could I have just turned to enter the base leg and than to final and skip the down wind leg? Thanks for the help. Best.
