ATX FLC ON FRT FLT EXECUTES A 'LOOK-SEE' APCH WITH WX BELOW APCH MINIMA; ALSO FORGET TO CONTACT TWR AT OM.

Narrative

WE WERE FLYING TO THE ARPT TO OFF-LOAD CARGO. WX CONDITIONS WERE CHKED. CONDITIONS WERE RPTED AS BEING BELOW THOSE NECESSARY TO LAND THE ACFT. (PARTIALLY OBSCURED; 100 FT OVCST AND 1/16 MI VISIBILITY). WE WERE NEAR THE ARPT IN BEAUTIFUL VMC. WE DECIDED TO FLY TO THE ARPT TO SEE HOW CONDITIONS WERE AND WHETHER WE WOULD WAIT FOR THE SUN TO BURN OFF THE FOG WHILE WE WERE HOLDING OR GO TO AN ALTERNATE. APCH VECTORED US FOR RWY 32. WE MADE IT CLR TO APCH WE DIDN'T INTEND TO LAND. WE WERE HANDED OFF TO THE TWR WHICH CLRED US FOR THE ILS TO LAND. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY ASKING US TO RPT THE OM. THE TWR SAID THERE WERE SVC VEHICLES OUT. WE REPLIED TO THIS THAT WE WEREN'T TRYING TO EXECUTE AN APCH AND TO NOT LAND. WE WERE IN VMC. TWR LISTENED TO US AND SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THE CLRNC WAS CHANGED TO AN OPTION. BY THIS TIME WE MUST OF BEEN WELL PAST THE OM. DURING THE APCH THE VISIBILITY STRAIGHT DOWN WAS EXCELLENT. ALL THE APCH LIGHTS WERE PICKED UP INCLUDING THE RWY LIGHTS. FORWARD VISIBILITY WAS BETTER THAN RPTED. WE EXECUTED THE MISSED APCH AS PUBLISHED SO THE TWR AND APCH WOULD KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE WERE GOING. BEFORE BEING HANDED OFF BACK TO APCH WE WERE NOTIFIED WE HADN'T NOTIFIED THE TWR OF THE OM. WE WERE SO BUSY TALKING TO THE TWR TRYING TO MAKE THEM AWARE OF OUR INTENTIONS WE MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN TO CALL THEM AT THE OM (OR WE MISSED THE OM NAV-WISE). WE APOLOGIZED FOR MISSING THAT CALL. ANOTHER APCH WAS REQUESTED. WE THOUGHT CONDITIONS WERE IMPROVING AND WANTED TO SEE IF 32 LOOKED BETTER AND TO MAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT RWY 14 AND 4/22. ON THE SECOND PASS WE WERE RADAR VECTORED AGAIN. I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING UNUSUAL OR BEING ASKED TO MAKE AN OM CALL. CONDITIONS WEREN'T IMPROVING RAPIDLY ENOUGH AND WE FOUND OUT ONE OF OUR AGENTS WAS ALREADY AT THE ALTERNATE SO WE WENT THERE. NO ONE ASKED US TO CALL ABOUT THE OM CALL OR THE LOW APCHS UNTIL LATE IN THE DAY.
