The controller asked the pilot what approach he would like to use to get into KMYF. The weather at the time of the accident included an AIRMET active for IFR conditions with ceilings below 1,000 feet and visibility less than 3 miles due to fog and mist. As per procedure, the pilot switched frequencies to continue the approach.

Rather, it is affected by many factors, such as weather conditions and the presence of obstacles. Examples of information that can be communicated by an FSS include weather advisories, traffic advisories, navigational aids, or information from military bases or homeland security.

ICAO minima for circling approaches is much higher than that stipulated in the FARs so consider higher weather minima. A circling approach is a high-risk, low frequency event that it MUST be briefed. We also benefit from the latest weather updates. Any NOTAMS applicable? What speed on final approach?

C) FAF Identification No DME is offered for this approach, but you could use an IFR GPS to help with identification of the final approach fix waypoint at the EAVES LOM.
