Which FAR? Your answer presupposes that it's a violation of the FARs, but
you haven't shared which one applies here.



I take the phrase "in an emergency, say low on fuel" to mean the emergency is
a fuel emergency, created by the pilot's mismanagement, in violation of 91.167
In this case, because it's an emergency, you may disregard other regulations
in the interest of responding to the emergency, but you may have some
explaining to do. . .
