shock
When "new to type" a briefing by an " Uncle" type trainer on the sim may be helpful. (A " Talk around the Circuit.") A Check ride might be better with a "harder" personality... Even the same person with hat turned around can create the shock of the unexpected, the " Startle factor"which may happen, even when not sitting on the edge of ones seat.
I assume that is some way to indicate to one or the other do the " Pilot Dropped Dead Drill"
AF343's pilots might have benefited from noticing that the hands of "my old sensitive altimeter" were now "showing the wrong time"!
