She'll need to be able to follow instructions to fly the airplane. Most people
won't panic in a situation like that, although they may be very anxious.

Delusional.

Most average people would be scared ****less in such a situation and likely
panic at the first bump.

Look around at the average non-pilots in an airliner when a sudden noise
like the gear coming up happens and you will see lots of faces with
momentary fear and it gets worse with even the mildest of turbulence.

When I look around at passengers in an airliner cabin, I usually don't see
anyone who even notices the noise of the gear retracting, and most ignore
turbulence as well unless it spills their drinks.

Delusional.

I've heard people shrieking in terror when a steeper than normal for an
airliner bank was made.

The sensory inputs are the same for pilots as they are for passengers.

True, but irrelevant, as pilots are used to them but non-pilots aren't
and for them it is scary.

Pilots are trained to take responsibility and fly the airplane themselves.
Taking instructions is secondary to that.

Babble.

Have you ever heard of a CFI or ATC?
