No sorry, this is all silliness. As Douglas Bader said: rules are to be obeyed by fools and for the guidance of wise men. And I'm captain, so I take the decisions, and I know what's best. PPR is only for students.
For the avoidance of doubt, I'm joking.
Worst experiences I had of "wise men" not taking any notice of rules were PFA Rallies. There was usually a restricted area around it, and a mandatory AIC which you had to follow on approach. When the rally was at Kemble, that included a base leg which avoided overflying Kemble. But sometimes it was hard to get onto final for the stream of "wise men" on long final over Kemble (who had also missed the approach path, holding area etc). On one occasion I spoke to a few pilots when we were booking in. Yes, they'd seen the AIC, but it was too complicated so they hadn't read it.
