Gaseous: I noticed the stark difference with your latest recoveries, in that you wouldn't now do a 180 IN CLOUD. And it is this that disorientates pilots, because it is a difficult manouvre at a time when you haven't settled on instruments.

Don't forgetalso the advice is to fly AT A SPEED COMMENSURATE WITH THE VISIBILITY. Low viz - low speed. If you still go inadvertent - DO NOT turn 180, but descend and clear cloud before manouvering or LAND LAND LAND
