Narrative:

The temporary loss of control due to spatial disorientation occurred on the ILS approach into my alternate airport on an IFR flight plan from. The loss of control was precipitated by the pilot's inability to disconnect the altitude pre-select and an otherwise non-stable approach.the contributing factors were:1. Low IFR with conditions not improving as forecasted for the time of my arrival.2. Did not adhere to personal limits.3. While current; not proficient for IFR flight in the aircraft with only 56 hours in type.4. Not proficient with auto pilot and avionics in the aircraft.5. Did not have the 'numbers' memorized for the aircraft type to insure a stable approach.corrective action:1. Spoke with and discussed incident with gold seal instructor.2. Arranging schedules to do in depth IFR recurrent training in the aircraft with [with a CFI].3. Equipment familiarization with auto-pilot and navigational avionics training.4.
