I sometimes wonder if we disregard the psychological element of training. There is a lot to be said for students to be taken a bit beyond the minimum training standard so that the norm has no terrors.
When spin training was required, this was the big one and stalling a bit of a non event. Now the emphasis is on stall avoidance, I detect that stalling has become the bogey.
In the rotary world, now that EOL's are less emphasised, I am detecting that doing autorotations (not touchdowns) require the right omens/incantations/throwing the bones etc with possibly an unfortunate hesitation in lowering the lever if it all goes quiet.
