Narrative:

Cancelled IFR at oceanside VOR. Descended to VFR pattern (45 degree entry, right downwind, runway 24) at palomar. Tower extended my downwind (toward high ground) to follow ILS traffic. Long downwind resulted in low overflt of housing located northeast of airport. Downwind to base turn probably 500 ft AGL due to extended downwind. Left 360 degree turn on downwind abeam runway would have avoided possible low flying and/or noise complaint from housing occupants. Next time I will suggest the 360 vice long downwind.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: SMT PROBABLY FLEW LOW OVER OR NEAR HOUSES WHILE FLYING EXTENDED DOWNWIND TO RWY 24.

Narrative: CANCELLED IFR AT OCEANSIDE VOR. DSNDED TO VFR PATTERN (45 DEG ENTRY, R DOWNWIND, RWY 24) AT PALOMAR. TWR EXTENDED MY DOWNWIND (TOWARD HIGH GND) TO FOLLOW ILS TFC. LONG DOWNWIND RESULTED IN LOW OVERFLT OF HOUSING LOCATED NE OF ARPT. DOWNWIND TO BASE TURN PROBABLY 500 FT AGL DUE TO EXTENDED DOWNWIND. L 360 DEG TURN ON DOWNWIND ABEAM RWY WOULD HAVE AVOIDED POSSIBLE LOW FLYING AND/OR NOISE COMPLAINT FROM HOUSING OCCUPANTS. NEXT TIME I WILL SUGGEST THE 360 VICE LONG DOWNWIND.
