TaildraggerWhy VFR flight into clouds kills, what the 178-seconds study proved, and the 180-degree turn that saves you.
PatternWhy VFR pilots have about 178 seconds after flying into a cloud, and how the PAVE and 3P tools break the decision chain that gets them there.
PatternWhy untrained pilots average just 178 seconds in the clouds - and how the early 180° turn keeps VFR-into-IMC off the accident report.
PatternLearn why VFR flight into clouds kills in an average of 178 seconds - and the four-step 180-degree turn that flies you back to safety.
