So this just occurred to me in the debate on procedure turns.
The AIM famously says "The procedure turn is a required maneuver..." But the AIM is not regulatory. Is there anything in the FARs that requires a PT? I'm pretty sure there isn't anything in Part 91. Someone in another thread said that there was something in Part 97, but I can't find it. If nothing in the FARs requires a PT then a reasonable interpretation of the AIM is: "WHEN it is necessary to reverse course (which is determined at the pilot's discretion I suppose) you must do so by executing a PT (or a hold in lieu of)..." as opposed to, say, doing an Immelman or half a lazy eight. rg
