Continued along at 6,000’ I advised ATC that the weather was received and requested the RNAV 24 approach. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief. ATC then informed us we were number two for the approach and to maintain 4,000’. RNAV 24 at KCPC.
