QotM
====

ATC clears you direct to an intermediate fix on an RNAV approach and says,
"Maintain 3,000 until established, cleared RNAV Runway 27 approach." When
may you descend below 3,000?


Scenario
========

It's been a simple IFR flight on a VMC morning. Now you're approaching a
destination that's frustratingly hard to pick out given the suburban
landscape and the just risen sun in your eyes. The distance is ticking
down, ATC is getting impatient, and the nearby Class B limits your options
to maneuver.
