Downwind in a jet/turboprop is likely to be virtually outside an ATZ or at least towards the edge of it and also at least 1500'.
Can't think why he would join any other way if landing on runway opposite to final track to destination. He was probably downwind at the point he entered ATZ.
I frequently used to report downwind for R23 at Teesside at 6000' 5nm to the south east and 250kts. And would still be talking to radar NOT tower until asking for visual
