I don't see the AIM that way at all. It strikes me as the
place to look for the best way to do things that aren't
specified in the regs, not as a place to look for things
that are specified.


Can you cite a few "things" that are in the AIM that are not in the
FARs, ACs nor FAA Orders?

"Proper" methods of entry into an airport traffic pattern, for example?

I believe you'll find that covered in AC 90-66A and AC 90-42F:
