"FAR 91.3

Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.
(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the
operation of that aircraft.
(b) In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command may deviate from any
rule of this part to the extent required to meet that emergency.
(c) Each pilot in command who deviates from a rule under paragraph (b) of this section shall, upon the
request of the Administrator, send a written report of that deviation to the Administrator."

Subparagrah (c) intimidates a lot of folks. They think it means you'll be talking to a FSDO inspector about the flight if you delcare and possibly have your license pulled.
