I can just imagine someone declaring a PAN PAN (or even diverting as some have suggested!!) just beyond the IAF for a landing in SKC conditions because the TAF has just been amended to include BKN cloud starting in 25 mins time 900ft above the landing minima but 100ft below the alternate minima!!
Why the head bashing when people are following the LAW!!!??
This thing called 'forecasting' is not an EXACT science, that is why you need to hold an ALT when the Wx is at or below the ALT minimas. It gives a BUFFER, it protects you and your passengers from the possibility of not having enough fuel to land if the Wx is actually worse.
Why do people try to find ways around the law?? That is why we need to regulate these things so we can protect ourselves from ourselves!
Just hold the fuel or 'get some more' by whatever means you need to. SIMPLE
