In almost everything you've just quoted the word aerodrome is included, yet again. What if you don't use aerodromes, I'm being serious - many operations don't ! I guess if you're nowhere near an airport your references don't count - maybe that's why 5015 is a standalone section of law?
For my sins, amongst may other technical manuals and publications, I've assisted with the writing of large sections of air law for three different countries - I'm happy to be corrected by a decent argument but until then I'll stick to my view.
One last thing - do you have a reference in law for, "User-defined approaches can be dangerous and are not authorised"? I know it was in a GA safety leaflet (you know my opinion of it) but there is no back up reference for the statement in law. Now, whether you think it is good airmanship or not, where is the law that underpins it ?
We're obviously from different schools so I'll leave you to it. No need to respond to the questions above.
All the best
