Its pretty standard Eastern with someone untrained in instrument flying. If you let a student get into clouds the good ones can last about a couple of minutes before loosing it and others it takes seconds. And the little wee !!!!es for kids just carry striaght on because they already have 10000 hours on MS sim and you have nag them all the time to look out the window.
They go IMC suddenly realise that they are in cloud maybe for the first time. Its alot more lumpy and they start trying to fly the machine by the seat of thier pants with no reference. Then they remember my instructor said to do a 180 and fly out. All there training will be in VFR conditions under a hood with relativly few lumps.
They start the turn and automatically pull back a bit while jiggling the controls trying to react to the turb. The stall warner goes off and they shove the stick forward and then snatch it back producing a secondary stall. They have no visual reference so don't control the yaw or worse put the wrong foot in which puts it into a spin.
The plane goes into an unusual attitude and the gyro's topple after that....
I was trying to remember what my IR instructor used to whisper all the time when I was first learning the scan.
It went along the lines of
dot to altimeter, wings to DI
level the wings
dot to altimeter, wings to DI
bring the dot to the horizon
dot to altimeter, wings to DI
set your power.
dot to altimeter, wings to DI
adjust your pitch for level
dot to altimeter, wings to DI
trim
dot to altimeter, wings to DI
FREDA check
But i am sure an IR instructor could give you a better script to use.
