The phenomenon of startle in aviation is a critical area of study, particularly due to its implications for pilot performance and aviation safety. Startle responses can significantly impair cognitive functioning and decision-making processes during unexpected in-flight events. This impairment can lead to inappropriate pilot responses, which may arise from a mismatch between perceived stimuli and the active mental framework the pilot is employing. Such mismatches can be exacerbated by stress and the complexity of modern aviation systems. This overview investigates the main technological tools and data analysis methodologies employed for startle identification in aviation.

Abstract
The phenomenon of startle in aviation is a critical area of study, particularly due to its implications for pilot performance and aviation safety. Startle responses can significantly impair cognitive functioning and decision-making processes during unexpected in-flight events. This impairment can lead to inappropriate pilot responses, which may arise from a mismatch between perceived stimuli and the active mental framework the pilot is employing. Such mismatches can be exacerbated by stress and the complexity of modern aviation systems.
