Narrative:
During pattern entry on the 45, a piper, archer was doing a downwind departure. Came into view requiring full forward elevator to prevent collision. We used all available anti-collision procedures, ie, clearing, lights, strobes, radio announcements, standard entry, etc. This situation was caused by the piper doing a 'non-standard' departure per aim chapter 4. The piper's downwind departure clearly violated far 91.13(a) by endangering our lives.
