From what I have read, entering a real rotor, one would be lucky to be spat

Loss of control? Certainly.

Loss of plane? Perhaps.

Thoughts? Some out here can discuss rotors with authority, I'm sure.


Can't say with authority but no way will I go anywhere near a rotor.
High winds over the Rockies and I don't fly over the mountains.

I have experienced downdrafts and updrafts but nowhere near a rotor.
