Narrative:

During climb after the initial takeoff during a commercial pilot's biennial flight review, a turn from 250 degrees to 180 degrees was commenced at about 800-900 ft. The destination airport was edenton (ede), nc. While on a 45 degree departure/climb from runway heading, a tan/brown small aircraft Y passed directly overhead about 100 ft, coming from behind my right wing. She was entering left downwind from a wnw direction, vice the standard 45 degree entry outlined in the aim. A full call sign/north-number was never heard. This incident was witnessed by a sky diving club pilot taking off about 45 seconds behind me. He made a broadcast over CTAF at the instant the small aircraft Y was passing overhead. The witness later told me that the small aircraft was descending and turning, thus passing through the crosswind leg to enter downwind for sfq runway 25. Note: about 6 months ago a midair collision did occur at the exact place, 2 small aircraft's both with CFI's aboard! No one died, but the cause was the same -- nonstandard traffic pattern entry.
