> Panic isn't something that you can remove by training nor train for. Of course it is. It's probably 50% of training. Panic increases the impact of mental workload and induces a kind of "tunnel thinking" similar to tunnel vision: you become fixated on one problem and one solution, without considering other parameters and options. But panic is caused, many times, by surprise and lack of competence. You avoid panic by becoming more familiar with specific emergency situations. And you fight panic by learning to recognize it early, reduce mental workload, organize and follow procedures. I find it worrying that this incident shows a lack of professionalism from the crew. When something unexpexted happened, they simply jumped on the controls at once, didn't communicate and simply blamed the plane. This is amateurish, and somehow... quite French (I am French).
