What I cannot understand, is taking off 10 mins after the window had closed. You really do need good visuals departing ZQN, furthermore, he had a choice of either not departing, and staying the night at the hotel, or taking a huge gamble and taking off. Bet he wished he did the latter.

You'd only get a "bank angle" warning at 30 deg bank when close to the ground, so yes it would be rare for most pilots to hear it in flight. Normally the warning is triggered at about 40 degrees bank, but the limit reduces rapidly at low radio altitudes.
