I hope nobody minds if I ask a similar question?

I am also recently ME-IRed and was wondering about cloudbreak procedures in the UK. I have been through Cap413 but could see anthing on the correct RT, or even if such a procedure exists 'formally'. I think the topic is linked to the OPs.

Example:-

Planned IFR flight from Caernarfon to Tollerton. Cloudbase is forcast to be lower than MSA in the vicinity of the destination preventing a descent in class G so plan an ILS into EMA to 'break-cloud' then VFR to Tollerton if Wx allows.

Presumably a call to EMA is required to book an approach?
Whats the RT required and have I missed this in 413?
Is a UK 'cloudbreak' a recognised procedure, and if so, where is it detailed?

cheers all
