Very interesting subject.
Say you’re flying VMC and inadvertently fly into cloud, do a 180deg level turn but to no avail. I'd presume this would defiantly be a Mayday call, I recall reading in one of my books that its expected to lose control in 1min if not qualified to fly IMC. What would the procedure be here, first instance I’d presume you fly straight to MSA but would ATC guide you or what would happen?
And… If you flew into cloud (not like a FEW cloud) but the 180 deg turn worked and you came straight back out, would you make a precautionary landing and report this?
In both instances obviously the solution is to plan properly and not put yourself into the situation but i was just wondering what if...
