Error.
Does not compute.
If you're going to quote me, quote the whole reference.
The public doesn't receive a copy of every rule book that is out there, so the AIM, although not a regulatory manual in itself, must be followed. It may be referring to a CAR's reference, a rule in ATC Manops, or simply hinting at what a "prudent individual" should do. Either way, purposely disobey it, simply because the rule isn't spelled out in CAR's, and you'll be selling your Pitts or moving in a big hurry.
