P1.
Think high terrain, low freezing level, unstable airmass, low performance aircraft. Very limited number of instrument aproaches available.
Could have ended up as a block of ice out of fuel which would be unlikely to have the same outcome.
The IMC rating is not the answer to such situations!
The precautionary landing is.
This takes me back to a discussion way back regarding the option to climb into IMC or make a precautionary landing.
