Paragraph 8e states the turn to base leg should commence 45 degrees from
the threshold, which requires final to be the approximately as long as the
downwind is from the runway.


Stating that the turn from downwind to base leg should commence 45 degrees
from the threshold does not mean that final does not extend beyond the base
leg.



Where is AC 90-66 inconsistant with the FARs?


FAR 91.113(g) states very clearly that aircraft on final have the
right-of-way. If you believe AC 90-66A says aircraft flying a full pattern
have the right of way you must believe that AC 90-66A is inconsistent with
the FARs.
