It was with an instructor and it was unexpected. Nobody was trying to make a point but it was a lesson nonetheless.
It is interesting because it demonstrates how easily it can happen. Personally I stick to the old Norwegian planning minima that were something like 2000 ft ceiling and 8 km visibility. If the weather forecast is below that I ain’t going on a VFR NAV. I will do a relatively short hop in 1000 ft and 5 km visibility.

Holy cow! They were really lucky. And given the long arm on the wing, there must have been some structural damage to the airplane and some buckled skin on the fuselage, no?
In such case the only way to go is UP as a rocket.

Not if it is rented…
