The Concept of Startle Effect on Pilots during Critical Events
I would take this opportunity to write and interesting subject, regarding and evaluating different scenarios that how a startle effect surprise pilots inside the cockpit, and is a contributing factor in multiple aviation incidents and accidents that have been recognized, during the investigation when an airplane crashed, the term startle effect can impact pilot performance in many hazardous ways.
There are some differences between startle and surprise: the terms startle and surprise are often used interchangeably in aviation operational training, a startle effect is a short-term, fast, and highly physiological reaction.
The conceptual model of startle and surprise are specific differences between surprises and startle increase questions regarding ground-based training to prepare flight crew for unexpected events in flight.
If you are no familiar with this concept model in aviation, I would like to share some interesting subjects that a startle effect is a good example often occurs when the autopilot disengages and hands control to the pilot in a highly dynamic, time-critical condition. So, according to human factors there are two systems they are play a different roles in our reaction as pilots, and a pilot error could be an action or decision that if not fixed and corrected on time could contribute to the occurrence of and accident or incident.
Take your time to read some of these pdf concepts, I want to share with the aviation community, to have more an idea what that mean a startle effect in general and commercial aviation.
Always remember fly safe, the best safety
device in any aircraft is a well-trained safety pilot.
