Fly the aircraft

I wonder if some of the many unexplained fatal accidents can be
attributed to bees/snakes/spiders/mice etc. No need to be alergic,
panic may be sufficient to incapacitate...
so the solution of the problem is:
"don't panic!"
SCNR ...
but, seriously: one should to learn to overcome any beginning feeling of
panic to stay calm and maintain his ability of reacting in a rational
manner. One way to achieve this is mental training. Imagine situations
which could lead you into panic. Play through all the options you have;
do this with different settings. Do it repetitively. Ask experienced
pilots how they dealt with similar situations, include their answers in
your imagination. You'll build a couple of possible reactions in the
imagined situations, which can be recalled if you experience such a
situation in reality - and you are mentally used to those situations.
This will make the appearance of panic much more improbable and
effective reactions more probable.
Surely, simulator training is another way to achieve this. But mental
training is a thing you can do (nearly) wherever you are.
