It's interesting to note that AC90-66A, Airport Traffic Pattern Operations at Non Towered Airports, notes visually that a Straight In final is an option on their graphic...and textually, makes reference that S-In visual approaches should use caution not to disrupt the normal flow of airport traffic. Thereby, seemingly approving the S-In option.

However, my 2006 AIM has removed the Straight-In option from the graphic and makes no reference about it textually.

While not ideal, I've never know S-In traffic patterns to be prohibited. Has the FAA changed their stance?
