The myth: one second it's VFR next second it's IMC. Upon entering none VMC you go on the dials, exicute a basic 180deg turn back in to clear sky.
Reality: It's turbulent, you've been getting further and further beyond yr limits visually and getting lower and lower to stay visual, at times not far above the ground, the rain is now a factor, you are sweating getting very tense with viz slowing deteriorating to conditions you've never experienced before. You have family onboard the wife is firing off questions beyond what you can answer with any certainty. The kids are starting to get upset due turbulence and the rain now pelting the aluminium can you are all in. You know you have really stuffed up and attempt to squint further into the muck, it doesn't feel right, noises are getting louder, the dials are all over the place, yr GPS ground speed has increased a lot, you are shaking, the wife is now screaming louder than the wind noise, the G forces are nasty & combined with the bad turbulence you are totally confused, you emerge from the bottom of the cloud and instantly see the ground at a 90+ deg angle, you pull back hard but the trees rush up rapidly.......lights out!!
YOU are the ultimate protection!
