Just commenting on the 180 upon inadvertently hitting IMC - it makes perfect sense as it’s the proven way for a VFR-only pilot to get back to the last - and on that moment the only - known VMC in as little a minute. All someone needs to be able to do is to keep the AI centered, perform a normal level 180, and the scare for the VFR pilot is soon over. That’s why it’s part of Private Pilot training.
