The 45 degree entry to the downwind is illegal. No, it is not. The regulation says "unless otherwise authorized," and the 45 degree entry is specifically authorized as a legal maneuver in a document signed by the Administrator (the AIM). The AIM may not be regulatory, but following the procedures in the AIM provides a safe harbor and use of those procedures is to be presumed by the FAA to be in compliance with all federal regulations.
