While powered pilots have many accidents during descent in clouds, these are more likely to be descent into terrain or other collisions. The benign spiral does nothing to prevent these accidents, and may make them worse, since you have little control over your direction of flight
While powered pilots have many accidents during descent in clouds, these are more likely to be descent into terrain or other collisions. The benign spiral does nothing to prevent these accidents, and may make them worse, since you have little control over your direction of flight. As pointed out by John K, power planes are not usually as stable as gliders in these situations. If you are not sure that your plane will stay in a benign spiral then the technique is at least as likely to result in an extreme flight attitude as an attempt to make a controlled instrument descent.
