A close call with terrain video

Hat tip to Sulako’s blog for finding this amazing video that shows why its important to obey IFR rules like sector altitudes and how not to use your GPS terrain display. The pilot of this aircraft encountered a cloud but continued to valley-crawl while in IMC – which nearly cost more than just a slightly damaged wing from brushing against some bushes. Its amazing that they made it safely home. This definitely a video every student pilot as well as experienced pilot needs to watch!
