Question for ab initio instructors.

Here's the scenario.

Student pilot, (not even basic panel IF training) in a light trainer say a C150, inadvertently caught in IMC, or in a corner where said student, will have to go into IMC say to descent through cloud, to get down. The aircraft has no AI/AH, or turn and balance. You are in VHF contact as they have called for help. How would you attempt save the students life, or give them a fighting chance? Maybe you are ATC with a PPL. You have probably one minute or less to tell them what to do, before they loose it.

Hopefully it would be hypothecial but it has happened.

Years ago, this remedy was not taught very often but it can save a life.

Of course we were all taught to stay out of cloud and we were so damned scared of getting into IMC as we knew the consequences.

I await replies with interest.
