Airports simply don't go
below minimums that often -- my last weather caused missed approach
was years ago on a non precision approach into an uncontrolled airport
in the mountains of PA and I'd bet very few of us SEL or light twin
pilots here have flown more than one or two in the past half dozen
years.

Actually, A it may be a regional thing but it's very common for my
airport KMBO to go below approach minimums especially in the morning
when low stratus moves up from the gulf.. *ILS *KJAN minimums are very
common in fall and spring here as well.

I would have shot lots of those ILS approaches myself however, that
meant not coming home to my own non precision approach airport (KMBO)

Thanks! I guess my experience/mission profile is different and may
not be representative. Most times places where I am going are serviced
by an ILS. Even secondary 'reliever' airports around major cities have
ILS approaches and car rental kiosks.
