Let me make sure I understand this. The FAA wrote the rules, and the FAA
wrote the AIM. Therefore, the FAA must have determined that which is in
the AIM complied with the rules... until the FAA changes it's mind. So
sayeth the FAA. :-)


The 45 degree turn to downwind violates the letter of the law regardless
what the FAA sayeth.
