12.5 Briefings
Good pre-flight briefings form the foundations of a well-conducted check or training session. Briefings should be concise and contain specific statements of the requirements for that flight or session. 1.5 hours is allocated for briefing so any suggestion of haste should be avoided, and questions from the pilots under training / check should be actively encouraged at all stages.
The full pre-instructional brief discipline (preparation, briefing aids, briefing structure, the introduction (general information) content, the A-W-A-R-E model, and the LOFT briefing suggested format and contents) is reproduced at 6.1 Introduction and across the Pre Instructional Brief section files.
12.5.1 Safety briefing
The safety briefing is treated under the standard operating sequence at 7.1 Introduction (which codifies the briefing-and-debriefing envelope each session is conducted within).
