Not sure if it has been mentioned already but the OAT gauge should be cross checked against the ATIS.
What an excellent point. Hold my hands up to this, I'd not thought about it before. Maybe due to there being extremely little difference between gauge ATIS and met briefings, but then probably due to ignorance. But thanks to RodgerF for sharing that now, before it catches me out later!

I have encountered IMC rated pilots who do not know what a Radar Vectored ILS is and did not know what circle to land procedures were.
This is really surprising. In my mind if everything goes wrong in IMC I'd gladly let a controller do the navigation whilst I fly the aeroplane in the direction I'm told to. Even go one better and let them navigate all the way to DA/H on an SRA or PAR! Vectors is vectors
