I have completely taken control at a fairly late stage on the line just once in 10,000+ hrs in the LHS and it taught me what might happen, which was flying solo for several minutes afterwards. If it’s a training sector you’re likely more mentally prepared for this kind of thing (as is the trainee) but with experienced pilots who are doing everything right and are attacked by the once-in-a-decade gust at the end of a long day it can come as a bit of a surprise.
