It is correct. AC 90-66 clairifys it very well, and 91.113 is not in
conflict.


What do you believe AC 90-66A clarifies?



That aircraft in the pattern have the right of way. You know, the part you
snipped.


Per AC 90-66. 7f . Position reports on CTAF should include distance and
direction from the airport.


It doesn't say reports should be given in miles, it says position reports
on
the CTAF should include distance and direction from the airport.
Announcing
position over a known fix provides distance and direction and is far more
reliable than an estimate of distance.


IFR fixes provide zero informaiton to a VFR pilot.




Yep! No conflict.


It's your position that "aircraft flying a full pattern do have the right
of way." FAR 91.113(g) states that aircraft on final have the right of
way. I'd call that conflict.


Only because you wish to ignore the FAA recommendations in AC 90-66.
Aircraft entering on a straight in approach should not disrupt traffic in
the pattern.



Correct. But an instrument "approach" is an approach, not an instrument
"final".


FAR 91.113 is found among the general flight rules, it does not
distinguish between VFR and IFR operations. Aircraft on final have the
right-of-way, it does not matter how they came to be on final.


AC 90-66 is crystal clear, you just don't happen to like it.
