Oh yeah, DON'T CONSULT OPSPECS ON THE APPROACH

And for good reason. This is an unforgiving business at times.

I'm with OSU however... you will learn this stuff during your initial training. You'd better have it down COLD, i.e. memorized like the lord's prayer, by the time you take your checkride. Then never forget it. The absolutely worst thing a pilot could do would be to grab his ops specs while doing a procedure turn to see if he could legally "take a look-see" on an approach after the AWOS/ASOS says its below mins.

Sorry I didn't clarify -- DON'T CONSULT OPSPECS ON THE APPROACH! Yes, you have to know your stuff. I was thinking of a specific example when the weather was at takeoff miniums -- and I was looking at the weather during preflight planning, and was making sure I was legal (ie ON THE GROUND, not in the air). In getting ready for the interview, however, hit the books I mentioned before, together they are a great resource (along with this forum).
