Update on test #2

Logger showed descent rate to be between 1500-2900 fpm. Turn rate was about 45 seconds per turn.

Matt,

To be realistic and get a true sense of what will happen please do this with you eyes closed.

Matt,

Seriously once you go into a cloud you will have no visual references. After about 30 seconds especially with the maneuver described you will have vertigo. What happens when you get out of the cloud? To establish your visual reference again may take another 30 seconds depending how serious the vertigo and what you do when you experience this. Things may get much worse. It is not just the aircraft that is the issue.

Richard
