Boy oh boy... do you really read a post before you're answering to it (g)?
If you had followed this thread, then you'd know that this is exactly what
I wrote.

This discussion started when I wrote that "the whisky compass method
doesn't work in real life". I added that if you ever manage to be in a
situation where you need an emergency descent through IMC, then the only
procedure which may work is the one I mentioned. I repeat: *emergency
procedure* and *may*. BTW, many modern gliders will go from a spin into a
spiral dive after a couple of turns, so that old "spin it down" emergenca
procedure is a no-no in modern ships, and is actually explicitely
forbidden in some POHs for that very reason.

Sorry 'bout that.

I had read the whole thread, but took your last response to bagmaker's post
out of context. No offense intended.
