Inadvertant IMC
Muffin and Thomas Coupling,
in your last posts you have both advocated descending following inadvertant entry into IMC. To me this sounds like a recipe for CFIT. RAF policy is to immediately begin a climb to safety alt, turn away from high ground and get a radar service. Can I assume from your posts that PPL(H) pilots are NOT drilled into doing this instinctively? Descending in inadvertant IMC, possibly in the vicinity of high ground to try and regain VMC sound terrifying and potentially lethal to me.
I'd be very interested to know just how PPLs are taught to respond.
