Our lesson plan on Startle and surprise is an interesting topic that has gained increased attention in the aviation industry. However, it is still a topic that is relatively young and therefore a challenge for many trainers and instructors. How do we present it, how do we make it useful and how can we train for startle in the future.
This lesson deals with the challenges associated with the powerful brain reactions in a surprise and startle. It includes a suggested case study as well as a live-recording of a startle. During the lesson we equally look at ways to prevent and recover from a startling situation (resilience). In other words: How to train for startle and personal resilience.
