interesting moment yesterday on final

It is correct. AC 90-66 clairifys it very well, and 91.113 is not in
conflict.


What do you believe AC 90-66A clarifies?



Per AC 90-66. 7f . Position reports on CTAF should include distance and
direction from the airport.


It doesn't say reports should be given in miles, it says position reports on
the CTAF should include distance and direction from the airport. Announcing
position over a known fix provides distance and direction and is far more
reliable than an estimate of distance.



Yep! No conflict.


It's your position that "aircraft flying a full pattern do have the right of
way." FAR 91.113(g) states that aircraft on final have the right of way.
I'd call that conflict.



Correct. But an instrument "approach" is an approach, not an instrument
"final".


FAR 91.113 is found among the general flight rules, it does not distinguish
between VFR and IFR operations. Aircraft on final have the right-of-way, it
does not matter how they came to be on final.
