Narrative:

During the descent over the psb VOR we picked up the airport and told ZNY canceled. They cleared us for a visual approach to unv. The WX was clear with gusting winds out of the wnw. We decided on a visual to runway 24 and continued the descent down to 2700 ft MSL. We crossed the runway mid-field and turned left to enter the left downwind for runway 24. After rolling out on the downwind, I asked the captain how the spacing looked because we were abeam the threshold by this time. The captain said it looked good. I asked him to call the 45 degree point for the base turn and he did. I started the base turn and said I would not plan to roll out on the base because we had a tailwind and would get blown through final. After about 90 degrees of turn I saw that we were passing through final. The wind had been much stronger than either of us had counted on. We decided to do a right 270 degree turn back to final. I added power and started to turn and climb. During the climbing turn, we spotted belfonte airport. Their traffic pattern is on the south side of their field (right traffic). Unv uses left traffic to stay on the north side. We did not cross over the runway at belfonte. We remained north and were at 2800 ft MSL and climbing at the time. The belfonte elevation is 1080 ft. As we rolled back out on final to unv, someone came over the unicom frequency and said an aircraft had just flown through the belfonte traffic pattern. The captain made the re-established final call to unv traffic. The person came on again and said he was going to turn us in. We were in a critical phase of flight and decided not to respond. After we landed, the captain called the belfonte FBO and spoke to the owner. This was the same person that was on the radio and he would not listen to anything the captain had to say. In retrospect, we should have continued in the left turn and climbed back up to pattern altitude and re-entered left traffic. We thought what we did was the best and safest thing to do at the time.

Title: SF-340A OVERSHOT FINAL RWY 24 ON A VISUAL APCH ACCOUNT STRONG WINDS. ELECTED TO MAKE A R 270 DEG TURN BACK TO FINAL. POSSIBLE ENTRY INTO THE TFC PATTERN AT N96. ON LNDG DISCUSSED SIT WITH THE FBO WHO SAID HE WAS GOING TO FILE A VIOLATION.

Narrative: DURING THE DSCNT OVER THE PSB VOR WE PICKED UP THE ARPT AND TOLD ZNY CANCELED. THEY CLRED US FOR A VISUAL APCH TO UNV. THE WX WAS CLR WITH GUSTING WINDS OUT OF THE WNW. WE DECIDED ON A VISUAL TO RWY 24 AND CONTINUED THE DSCNT DOWN TO 2700 FT MSL. WE CROSSED THE RWY MID-FIELD AND TURNED L TO ENTER THE L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 24. AFTER ROLLING OUT ON THE DOWNWIND, I ASKED THE CAPT HOW THE SPACING LOOKED BECAUSE WE WERE ABEAM THE THRESHOLD BY THIS TIME. THE CAPT SAID IT LOOKED GOOD. I ASKED HIM TO CALL THE 45 DEG POINT FOR THE BASE TURN AND HE DID. I STARTED THE BASE TURN AND SAID I WOULD NOT PLAN TO ROLL OUT ON THE BASE BECAUSE WE HAD A TAILWIND AND WOULD GET BLOWN THROUGH FINAL. AFTER ABOUT 90 DEGS OF TURN I SAW THAT WE WERE PASSING THROUGH FINAL. THE WIND HAD BEEN MUCH STRONGER THAN EITHER OF US HAD COUNTED ON. WE DECIDED TO DO A R 270 DEG TURN BACK TO FINAL. I ADDED PWR AND STARTED TO TURN AND CLB. DURING THE CLBING TURN, WE SPOTTED BELFONTE ARPT. THEIR TFC PATTERN IS ON THE S SIDE OF THEIR FIELD (R TFC). UNV USES L TFC TO STAY ON THE N SIDE. WE DID NOT CROSS OVER THE RWY AT BELFONTE. WE REMAINED N AND WERE AT 2800 FT MSL AND CLBING AT THE TIME. THE BELFONTE ELEVATION IS 1080 FT. AS WE ROLLED BACK OUT ON FINAL TO UNV, SOMEONE CAME OVER THE UNICOM FREQ AND SAID AN ACFT HAD JUST FLOWN THROUGH THE BELFONTE TFC PATTERN. THE CAPT MADE THE RE-ESTABLISHED FINAL CALL TO UNV TFC. THE PERSON CAME ON AGAIN AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO TURN US IN. WE WERE IN A CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT AND DECIDED NOT TO RESPOND. AFTER WE LANDED, THE CAPT CALLED THE BELFONTE FBO AND SPOKE TO THE OWNER. THIS WAS THE SAME PERSON THAT WAS ON THE RADIO AND HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING THE CAPT HAD TO SAY. IN RETROSPECT, WE SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED IN THE L TURN AND CLBED BACK UP TO PATTERN ALT AND RE-ENTERED L TFC. WE THOUGHT WHAT WE DID WAS THE BEST AND SAFEST THING TO DO AT THE TIME.
