What the hell are you saying here?

. I suggested that it would be a violation, and you replied with
this:

"No. That regulation begins with "Unless otherwise authorized by the
Administrator", and FAR Part 1 defines "Administrator" as "the Federal
Aviation Administrator or any person to whom he has delegated his
authority in the matter concerned." "


A contact approach is not a violation of the regulation [FAR 91.175(a)]
requiring a standard instrument approach procedure because that regulation
begins with the proviso "Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator",
and FAR Part 1 defines "Administrator" as "the Federal Aviation
Administrator or any person to whom he has delegated his authority in the
matter concerned", such as ATC in this case.
