Which factor is emphasized as the ultimate authority in aviation compliance discussions, MOS or Regs?

Regulations carry the final legal authority in aviation compliance. MOS (Manual of Standards) are guidance that explains how to meet the rules and often provide acceptable means of compliance, but they do not override what the regulations require. If a MOS and a regulation appear to conflict, the regulation takes precedence and must be followed. In practice, MOS helps you implement the regs and stay safe, yet it cannot substitute for or overrule the legal requirements. The FARs are not the controlling rules in Australia; they apply in the United States, not here.
