I'd say that in any of these situations, knowledge of aerodynamic
principles will not be of much use. Because you will not have the
time to work out a course of action from those principles DURING the
flight. The time to work out the course of action is ON THE GROUND,
BEFORE THE FLIGHT.

..and presumably based on some knowledge of aerodynamic principles ?

Of course.

But the beautiful thing about learning on the ground, is that you can
draw on the knowledge of others to work out the plan of action during
flight.
