Actually, the AIM doesn't require anything. It is simply a collection of
best practices to help pilot fulfill their regulatory responsibilities. That said, as I have previously noted, the AIM provides an illustration of the traffic pattern, and it utilizes 45 degree entries. As the FAA says the AIM presents their recommended practices and methods, and the AIM recommendation contains 45 degree pattern entries, it would appear that the FAA wants 45 degree entries to be used.

Why would he...he believes otherwise. From the intro: "There's not a syllable in the FARs about 45-degree traffic pattern entries. Nor does the AIM require them. There exists, however, a small-but-vocal cadre of pilots — and even some FAA inspectors — who consider any other type of pattern entry (straight-in, crosswind, etc.) to be a felony." Contrariwise, he feels that the entry into the pattern is not part of the pattern. |
