ILLEGAL APCH.

Narrative

FLT XX; JAN/AA/95; ANC-AKN-SNP-STG-DUT. THE WX AT SNP WAS 17 BROKEN 3 MI. WE SHOT AN NDB APCH; TOPS 3000 FT; BASES 1500 FT RAGGED. POPPED DEICE BOOTS AT FAF; WE HAD PICKED UP A TRACE OF MIXED ICE. I WAS STRESSED OUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT FAA WAS RTE CHKING US. WE LANDED AND TAXIED IN. FAA GETS OUT AND IS TAKING PICTURES OF THE REMAINING ICE ON LEADING EDGES. BEFORE DEP I REMOVED THE REMAINING ICE FROM THE WINGS WITH MY FLASHLIGHT. NORMALLY WE DEPART VFR FROM SNP TO STG; APPROX 40 NM. THE WX IS MARGINAL VFR SNOW SHOWERS; BLOWING SNOW AND EXPECTED TO BE THAT WAY AT STG. THE STRESS OF FAA; CAMERA; AND MARGINAL VFR PROMPTS ME TO PICK UP AN IFR OVER TO STG. SNP-STG APPROX 15 MINS. WE DEPART IFR; WE WERE VERY BUSY WITH CHKLISTS AND BRIEFING THE APCH; NDB TO STG. AWOS WX CALLS 1700 FT BROKEN; 3 MI. I MAY HAVE MISSED IT THE FIRST TIME; BUT THE AWOS IS STILL IN THE TEST MODE. WE GET A CLRNC AND SHOT THE APCH. AFTER WE ARE VISUAL; THE FO BRINGS UP THE AWOS AGAIN FOR THE WIND AND I HEAR THE AWOS TEST. I REALIZED THEN THAT PART 135 WE HAD JUST SHOT AN APCH WITHOUT CURRENT OR CERTIFIED WX. MY MIND WAS NOT WITH THE CURRENT SIT. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE FAA RTE CHK AIRMAN TAKING PICTURES IN SNP. I SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH OUR ORIGINAL VFR PLAN; BUT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT FAA WOULD SAY ABOUT 500 FT OVER THE WATER AT 240 KTS WITH 1-3 MI VISIBILITY. I FELT IT WAS PRUDENT TO GO IFR; BUT OVERLOOKED THE AWOS SIT. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN LESS WORRIED ABOUT THE RTE CHK AIRMAN BEHIND ME AND MORE IN TUNE WITH THE SIT AHEAD OF US.
