Exhorting people to be less complacent is akin to addressing error conditions by telling to think a bit more before they act. It reflects an outdated view of safety and error management.

@_rob_neal_ I agree on that point Rob. There are almost no situations I can think of where the benefits of IAs outweigh the risks. Our checklists have almost none, yet some instructors still insist on the need to doing things by memory in the name of urgency.

We equate fast recall & response with cognitive ability, expertise, & experience. But what if we could disassociate the idea of slowness with incompetence? What if we came to associate a slow response with higher skill levels and greater professionalism?

Should we be looking critically at how to approach startle and surprise training from a rotary wing perspective? what should it mean in an applied sense, and how should we be approaching it?

@markparbhoo Is it really sad that instead of admiring the sunrise I have just spent five minutes considering the exact nature of the symbology presented on your HUD?! 🤦😂
