Listed in the CAA LASORS as recommended reading this pre-flight briefing notes have been designed as a training aid to the both the student and to the Instructor. Please note: they are not a definitive authority on pre-flight briefings. Used correctly they will form an important part of your training, giving you the ability to reflect upon what you have just been taught in the air, and allow you to look forward and study for your next lesson.
Used in isolation, you will not gain the necessary knowledge, that is to say, you will need good quality study books like the Air Pilot Manuals or the Private Pilot's Licence Course manuals.

Your instructor
Your instructor will use a combination of training aids, i.e: These pre-flight briefings, chalk boards, white boards, models and other reference books etc. Your instructor will also combine the exercises in this manual and whether you are following the JAR syllabus or the NPPL Syllabus the outcome will be the same, quality training.

Whether or not the trial lesson you have booked is a gift or you have decided to find out about flying for yourself, you will find that the experience will be greatly enhanced if you have read through this short guide in advance.
You do not need to learn the contents of this guide, but you will find that some of the terminology and jargon will be less of a mystery when your instructor 'briefs' you for the lesson.

Take a few minutes to review the contents anf then go and enjoy what will surely be the first of many happy hours aloft!
