Bro do you even lift
2 thoughts, actually.....
I'm not a huge fan of the typical pre-takeoff emergency briefing we're taught to give passengers. let's take a brand new pax for example.....they're probably nervous, they've endured the preflight, taxi/runup, are probably sweaty-palmed and anxious, you're about to take the runway, then BLAMO..."oh and by the way, in about 10 seconds we 'may' end up in the fence, we 'may' end up in the trees, and we 'maybe possibly' can make it back to the runway, but who knows". for new pax I have tried to get creative and work that briefing into a conversation we may have a day or a week ahead of the flight, so when the time comes I can just kind of remind them of the conversation we had earlier, and it's not as "in your face" as the last-minute briefing can be.
second thought.........we do a pre-flight emergency briefing, why don't we do one at some point from descent to entering the pattern? something around the fact that you're getting low and slow, making power adjustments, if we should lose an engine, yadda yadda yadda?
I dunno, just a coupl'a thoughts.
