Let's change the scenario a little.

1.) At the time of takeoff your METAR at departure and TAF at destination look VMC so you're legal
2.) Enroute you hit IMC and using your swanky IR skills manage to continue.
3.) The weather takes a turn for the worse and your destination and alternate are under cloud. But unfortunately, there is no ILS, nor any IAP at your destination

What do you do with the IR???? Make up your let down OCAS without an approach aid?? Descend into VMC outside the ATZ and maybe under the range of radar coverage???

I have a cunning plan: let's put that question on the TK test, shall we?
