The procedures to be performed after sudden engine failure of a single-engine helicopter impose high workload on pilots. The maneuver to regain aircraft control and safe landing is called autorotation. The safety limits to conduct this maneuver are based on the aircraft height versus speed diagram, which is also known as "Dead Man's Curve".

- - This study investigates decision-making in complex situations by using a microstate model to analyze elite helicopter pilots during engine-failure scenarios near a safety threshold called the "dead man's curve."
- - The research finds that brain activity patterns during critical decision-making moments differ from baseline activity, with a significant focus on the medial prefrontal cortex, which is linked to emotional regulation.
- - The results suggest microstates could be effective neural indicators for understanding cognition in real-world environments, highlighting their potential for improving safety strategies in dynamic settings.
