"Cleared Straight-In Runway X; Report Y Miles Final"

You're changing your story. In your initial message you wrote; "At 5
miles
from the airport (still offset from the centerline), I report '5 mile
final'." So which is it? Were you on final when you reported or were you
offset from the centerline?

Both. I WAS on Final, and I WAS offset from the centerline. What a
concept!

You say that like it's a matter of opinion.

It certainly appears to be on this forum (and unlike some of you "Final is A
Single Degree" Club members, I at least understand your opinion). Do you
understand mine? (as well as the opinons of those members of the ATC
community that I am basing my position on)?

Regards, Jim

Nope. I was at a position EXACTLY where I claimed to be. I was 5 miles
from the airport, and I WAS on final. Thus "5 Miles Final."

As I have attempted to point out numerous times, the real issue is:
"Must
you be on the extended centerline to be on final?" You believe the
answer
is "Yes." I belive that the answer is "No."
