I'm not convinced that demo was accurate enough " to pass a flying licence test"!

will be interesting to check out the real thoughts and actions of a pilot while in a challenging sim test ride and how does the actual flying relate to the actual thinking of the pilot. Are decisions made up by competence and can the pilot make his/her own decisions based on accurate cognitive functioning in adverse situations or is it just flying by numbers? Is the pilot driven by confidence or anxiety in his/her decisions? which part of the brain is/is not working whilst confronted with multi tasking and in stress? This research could have a deep impact on medical examination, lets hope it will be used correctly.

Question is who's brain will be chosen to control the flight.

And I've always thought my flights were brain controlled...
