Hi,
In the world of pilots of airliners ... is what the word panic is forbidden to use?
Do airline pilots are men with capabilities far superior to other men and therefore they would not be subject to the phenomenon of panic that often occurs in situations of great stress .. even among men the most seasoned
Panic is known to decrease the power of reason in a logical manner.
Note that the panic .. when it is externalized can be contagious (can influence people in contact with the person who panics)
Panic .. Perhaps an explanation as any other to explain the behavior of the PF and the sequence of events.
This can't be ruled out ... so far.
