Ground Handling 13: Practice Your Collapses

A collapse in flight is not a rare event but a natural one that can happen to anyone. The real danger usually starts not from the collapse itself, but from panic and a slow response in an unexpected situation. Collapses and recoveries you've experienced repeatedly on the ground greatly raise your reaction speed in the air. A movement you've already handled many times is no longer unfamiliar — and familiarity leads straight to composure and safety.
