I did not mean that 180 turn will save you. I though the problem was that they can not even fly basic things without looking out of the window. Sure you just can't turn back. When you realise what is going on it is too late.

But even the idea to push close to ground so you can see is really bad. I understand that VFR pilot wants to see but they should know. Just keep it straight, maybe turn back and call for help if you can't navigate yourself out of it.

We had accident like that few years ago. She got into VMC (PPL, maybe 70-80 hours total), called ATC for help and ended up in a hill. She was so scared and lost that I could not finish whole communication recording.
