Narrative:
Unanticipated INS landing required at ccr due to WX. Confusion during ATC handoff travis approach to ccr tower. High cockpit workload at unfamiliar field resulted in very sloppy descent through cloud layer on approach prior to cancellation and uneventful landing. I was high on approach, did a 360 degree turn to lose altitude and landed.

Title: GA PLT ON APCH TO CCR EXPERIENCES LOSS OF ORIENTATION, EXCEEDS REQUIRED LIMITS FOR INS APCH.
Narrative: UNANTICIPATED INS LNDG REQUIRED AT CCR DUE TO WX. CONFUSION DURING ATC HDOF TRAVIS APCH TO CCR TWR. HIGH COCKPIT WORKLOAD AT UNFAMILIAR FIELD RESULTED IN VERY SLOPPY DSNT THROUGH CLOUD LAYER ON APCH PRIOR TO CANCELLATION AND UNEVENTFUL LNDG. I WAS HIGH ON APCH, DID A 360 DEG TURN TO LOSE ALT AND LANDED.
