The Briefing

A briefing is by definition a brief description of what is being taught. 

It should have three main attributes.

1. It must be factually and technically correct.
2. It should follow a logical sequence.
3. It must teach someone something.

Remember, briefing or teaching you must cover:

• What you will learn.
• Why you are learning it.
• How you will learn it.

In order to be factually and technically correct, the instructor must have a sound knowledge of the subject and not be simply reciting a prepared speech.

The briefing should build the story step by step in a logical sequence it must also apply the theory to the practical situation.

e.g. Principles of Flight:

• Turning – We need a force to turn the aircraft.
• We achieve that force by banking the aircraft (inclining the lift vector).
• When we incline the lift vector the VCL is reduced so we need to increase lift to maintain height. Etc
