3 minutes....

Tell them to bend over, put their head between their legs and kiss their ar5e goodbye.

Studies show (allegedly) you have three minutes in which the average ppl without instrument training will last before losing control - and that's full panel.

Somebody once said to trim full aft, retard the power then sit on your hands - using rudder to keep the ball and wings in the correct place. A/C stalls, drops then porpoises back to the stalled position. Cycle begins again. Allegedly cloud break is at about 2-300fpm which should give time to arrest your descent......Not tried it and not entirely convinced.
