I’ve never seen your procedure.
Best practice time is in actual imc brcause you aren’t doing visuals and it’s not so busy.
You don’t get a choice of the wx conditions when a FAA observers show up to watch the crew perform a mock CAT II. If you can’t do it in VMC conditions, you aren’t going to pass.
