En-Route
Hello. Background: I'm a student pilot, about two flights from checkride.
I was reading the twins thread and saw a post by Dr. Chien wherein he mentions he doesn't sign folks off if they don't "verbalize the pre-departure briefing."
And I realized I don't have a pre-departure briefing. I assume this is referring to verbalizing the altitudes at which you land on remaining runway vs. land straight ahead vs. turn-back if the engine fails.
Could someone outline the basics of a pre-departure briefing, and perhaps recommend some altitudes for a C-172M? If it matters, I fly out of KPIE in FL.
Thanks.
