Incident Details
A non-instrument rated private pilot was practicing maneuvers in broken cloud conditions. According to the pilot, she allowed the airplane to ascend into a "hazy area and noticed clouds were beginning to close around me." She then flew the airplane toward a "hole to descend through the clouds. [The] haze increased and [she] continued towards the opening but wound up in a cloud." The pilot stated that she immediately experienced "vertigo and got into [an] unusual attitude."
Pilot Account
During the unusual attitude recovery, the front windshield and right rear windshield separated from the airplane. Despite the loss of the windshields, the pilot was able to make an uneventful landing.
Aircraft Damage
Post-flight examination of the airplane revealed structural damage to the wings, wing struts, and horizontal stabilizer. The specific aircraft type, registration, and other details were not reported in the source.
