Freedom 2 Fly

An aeroplane is a difficult environment in which to learn. It is noisy, vibrating and uncertain. The student who takes to the sky uncertain of what they will learn is unlikely to derive the maximum benefit from the lesson. Or put it another way, why spend £150 plus on a lesson you could give yourself on the ground for nothing. The purpose of the pre-flight briefing is make the airborn lesson as profitable as possible.

There are two types or preflight briefing. The long briefing explains what the student will learn from any of the exercises in the syllabus. These lessons are described in the good text books that teach flying.

The short briefing should be presented by your instructor immediately before the flight. This will cover how the lesson will be taught. Your instructor will explain the order in which the exercise will be covered and where the aircraft will be at this time. The student should understand who will be in charge of the aircaft before the flight; when the instructor will be explaining, demonstrating the lesson and when the student will be practicing the exercise.
