Imminent IMC

What are the best techniques for surviving an IIMC encounter in an unstabilized (no SAS or AFCS) helicopter? This video offer a few practical techniques and concepts which I believe are potential life savers!

I survived IMC in a Bell 205 in the Canadian Rockies flying Heli SKi. 100 % my fault , my ego got me into it thought I could scud run my way out of a drop off as the clouds started closing in while dropping off skiers at around 8,000 feet. Big mistake and scared the living shit out of me….luckily I popped out over a valley after about a minute which seemed like hours..I was pretty sure I was going to lose control and go inverted at any minute as I glued myself to the minimal instruments ..my advice do anything to no get into that situation..

I am happy you survived your experience! How you use that experience to avoid another event is what is most important. Congratulations on being self aware, I believe you will enjoy a long and successful career as a pilot.

Unless you teach med crews to understand instruments to help the overloaded/disoriented pilot, they'll be just like kobe, along for the ride.
