KMCO has been used as an example so to continue with that, whist being radar vectored right hand downwind for 35L and having passed abeam FOBUK heading south you are cleared to 1600’. Would you accept this clearance whilst IMC?
The approach plate attached above was for 17L so I can't have the whole picture. Anyway, I would check the Minimum Radar Vectoring Altitude chart. If in that sector 1600' is allowed (it means - safe), then why not? However due to obstacles east of the aerodrome most probably it isn't...
