Change in AIM wording concerning procedure turn

Ah, so you have.

You said you'd go straight in.

So my followup question (if you'll indulge me) is: do you acknowledge
that this would be a technical violation of the FARS? (You'd have to
start descending below the MEA on V21 before passing an IAF for the
approach.)


I wouldn't have to stay on V21, I could move over two degrees to the 200
radial used for the approach. As for a possible technical violation of the
FARs, I've had a complete communications failure for unknown reasons, and
while my navigational radios are functioning, I'm not sure how long they
will continue to do so. To avoid a possible loss of navigational capability
in IMC I'm using the emergency authority granted me by
FAR 91.3 to deviate from any rule of Part 91.
