Training is 100% success or failure.
There is no substitute for military training. (at least that's how it used to be, but I am old)
One does not get a pass if they flunk.
Today, pilots start screaming if things go wrong, all the way to the ground.
At least that's what I have seen from FDR stuff.

In a chopper?>
It has to be a reflex esp in a smaller one.
If something goes thump, bang, or boom, the left knuckles better be bloody.
