Thank you for the replies above
It seems inevitable that if you are allowed to fly above cloud in France that at some point a situation will arise where you need to break cloud in order to land
I guess this will depend on the set of conditions that one places on him or herself before making such a trip
My post was not to see where I can push the boundaries on this – more to see what the correct procedure is should this event occur
An emergency case almost seems more straight forward to me – you just ask for the approach procedure under an emergency and deal with the issues later
The part that I am more concerned about is the grey area, where you are above cloud, the forecast was for broken or scattered at 2500 and on arrival it is solid with no holes, and even though the base is at say 2500, you have to get through (if you are intent on landing). Knowing that the rating doesn’t allow for this, what is the correct procedure?
Thanks for the replies
