This is something they should teach everyone to do no matter what type vehicle they are operating. Back when I was 15 learning how to fly, one of my flight instructors drilled this concept into me and I've used it ever since for everything I do.
It's not just simply expect the unexpected, but plan what you will do for any unexpected situation that might happen.
