The level of detail supplied is insufficient for flying school use, as flying school and aeroplane
specific techniques are not included. CASA recommends that Chief Flying Instructor (CFI) provides
clear and detailed guidance on the techniques required to be used in their flying school during flight
operations.
This appendix contains templates which detail the CASA recommended structure to be used for the
development of LB and PFBs. To provide further assistance, sample Briefing templates numbered 1
to 25 are also provided which contain the titles and basic content of the briefings applicable to the
training elements listed in Appendix A. Elements 1 to 9 are covered in some detail. Elements 10 to
25 are presented as templates only. Where a CFI chooses to use this material, aircraft type and
operator specific detail will have to be developed and included.
The pre-flight briefings are designed to review the practical significance of the topics presented in
the LB relating to the air exercise and also introduce the concept of what the student will see, feel,
hear and do. There should be no new topics introduced in the PFB. If during the presentation of the
PFB the student cannot recall the material and its practical application presented in the LB, then the
instructor must consider re-training the student before proceeding with the flight sequence.
Motivation
• Use motives that are real to the trainee
• Use multiple motives
• Provide for early success in learning new material
Over-learning
• Write briefing content which require trainee’s to recall previous learning
• Include appropriate revision at the start of the briefing
Threat and Error Management
The development of a specific long or pre-flight briefing must include appropriate strategies
designed to manage the threats and errors encountered in any particular lesson. These strategies
must also consider the human performance and limitations appropriate to the safe conduct of a
flight. For additional guidance refer to CAAP 5.59-1(0) and the Day Syllabus Section 2 Unit C7,
Section 1.13, Section 2 Unit C6 Manage Flight and Section 3 Amendment to Day VFR Syllabus.
Airmanship
Each briefing must include Airmanship items relevant to the exercise to be flown. TEM and other
human factor items are part of the Airmanship topic. Airmanship is, however, a broader topic
and one that is essential to impart in order to engender a safe, professional and courteous attitude
towards flying.
Aim
Objectives
The long briefing is a detailed briefing which provides an essential link between academic principles
and the air exercise. It presents the student with aeronautical theory and the practical application of
the principles. The instructor must ensure that the student achieves the lesson objectives as follows:
• Objectives (Learning Outcomes) may be behavioural objectives (what the student can do
at the completion of the lesson) or knowledge objectives (what the student knows at the
completion of the lesson).
• State clear and specific objectives to ensure that your lesson plan will teach exactly what
you want it to.
• Objectives should not be activities used in the lesson plan but be the learning outcomes
of those activities.
• Objectives should be meaningful, directly measurable so ensure that you will be able to
tell whether these objectives were met or not.
• A good lesson plan will have more than one objective. A long briefing typically has 5-6.
Evidence of achieving these objectives can be obtained by questioning through the delivery of the
long brief and also through asking a selection of questions at the end.
Revision
• Check knowledge/understanding of previous lesson(s)
• Determine from this revision if the student can progress or is re-training required
Definitions
• Include definitions for all new aerodynamic or other terms to be used in the briefing
The Principles
• Present the aerodynamic and other theoretical knowledge required for the student to
understand the practical aspects of the air exercise
The considerations
• Present the relevant environmental and operational variables that have an effect upon the
exercise
Application
• Present the practical application of the aerodynamic and theory given in the briefing, i.e.
what the air exercise will involve
Emergency procedures
• Present the actions to be taken in the event of any real emergency
Assessment
The trainee should conduct a process of questioning to ensure the lesson objectives have been met.
Questions should be asked in a way that confirms the student understands the lesson objectives. The
trainee should reflect back on the developmental involvement of the student during the delivery of
the brief and ensure that any perceived deficiencies are reviewed.
Aim/Application
The aim of the exercise should be simple and relevant to the Day VFR syllabus (Aeroplanes)
performance criteria and standards for the particular flight sequence being introduced. Question the
student briefly on the practical application of the exercise.
Sequence specific airmanship points may be discussed early so they can be recalled and referenced
during the rest of the pre-flight:
• Recognise and manage threats and manage errors;
• Recognise and manage undesired aircraft state;
• Fitness for flight;
• Lookout;
• Clock-code;
• Situational awareness;
• Assess situation and make decisions;
• Set priorities and manage tasks;
• Maintain effective communications and interpersonal relationships;
• Handing over/taking over;
• Smooth use of controls, engine handling;
• Any airmanship considerations specific to the lesson; and
• Actions to be taken in the event of any real emergency.
Some schools prefer to discuss this at the end of the brief to ensure that the concepts are most recent
in the students mind.
It is also an opportunity to recall Airmanship issues, in particular threat of weather, turbulence and
visibility. Also give consideration to any relevant Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs).
Aircraft Considerations
This is the instructor’s opportunity to check the student’s aircraft preparation including MR,
serviceability, fuel planning, loading and performance.
Administration
This is generally just a quick reference to any general sign out requirements or introduction of a new
administrative procedure e.g. sign out for life jackets and Emergency Locator Transmitter (Survival)
(ELTs).
This briefing is a practical briefing on what the student will see, feel, hear and do and detailed
reference to academic principles is unnecessary.
The Demonstrate – Direct – Monitor (DDM) concept should be clearly reemphasised so the student
knows what is expected in the lesson.
Note: If the long briefing has been properly structured and delivered there should be no need
to introduce new information in the pre-flight briefing. If during the delivery of the pre-
flight briefing the student cannot recall the practical application delivered in the long
briefing then the instructor must consider re-training the student before proceeding with
the flight sequence.
Debrief
The debrief is very important as it ensures that the student is aware of where competency has been
met, improvements can be made or remedial training can be undertaken where required. It is
important that the instructor records the students’ progress during this time and makes the student
aware that a progress report will be available for their self preparation and further development. The
next lesson should be briefly discussed whether remedial or progression and the student should be
given clear direction for preparation of the next lesson.
PRESENTATION LAYOUT
The board or screen layout is best utilised when there is as little clutter as possible. The content of
the pre-flight briefing should not be written, however the sub-division dot points can be placed to the
side to assist the trainee to recall the content and to keep the briefing structure logically sequenced.
The instructor must make this presentation as real as possible in terms of what the student will DO,
SEE, HEAR and FEEL.

important that the instructor records the students’ progress during this time and makes the student
aware that a progress report will be available for their self preparation and further development. The
next lesson should be briefly discussed whether remedial or progression and the student should be
given clear direction for preparation of the next lesson.

Climbing turn
PRE-ENTRY - Select reference altitude, feature and Lookout
Descending turn
PRE-ENTRY - Select reference altitude, feature and Lookout
Emergency procedures
• Present the actions to be taken in the event of any real emergency
Assessment
The trainee should conduct a process of questioning to ensure the lesson objectives have been met.
Questions should be asked in a way that confirms the student understands the lesson objectives. The
trainer should reflect back to the developmental involvement of the student during the delivery of the
brief and ensure that any perceived deficiencies are reviewed.
Aim/Application
The aim of the exercise should be simple and relevant to the Day VFR syllabus performance criteria
and standards for the particular flight sequence being introduced. Question the student briefly on the
practical application of the exercise.
Aircraft Considerations
This is the instructors opportunity to check the students aircraft preparation including MR,
serviceability, fuel planning, loading and performance.
Administration
This is generally just a quick reference only to any general sign out requirements or introduction of a
new administrative procedure e.g. sign out for life jackets/ELTs etc.

Air Exercise
Present the practical application of what the air exercise will involve. The instructor should
determine if the trainee can recall the knowledge required to perform the air exercise. Training aids
should be utilised to provide the best possible picture to the student. Usually the main body of the
white board is utilised here and the other dot points might sit well to the side, as prompts, to avoid
distraction from the visual presentation.
This briefing is a practical briefing on what the student will hear, see and do and detailed reference
to academic principles is unnecessary.
The DDM concept should be clearly reemphasised so the student knows what is expected in the
lesson.

Aim
To learn the principles involved in stalling an aircraft, the factors affecting the stall and be able to
recognise the symptoms of the approach, the actual stall and recover with a minimum height loss.
The exercise is important in the sense that the student pilot not only develops the ability to recover
from a stall, but that recognition of an impending stall can be averted such that an unexpected stall
should never occur.
Objectives
The long briefing is a detailed briefing which provides an essential link between academic principles
and the air exercise. It presents the student with aeronautical theory and the practical application of
the principles:
• State the symptoms of an impending stall and the stall itself;
• State the technique for minimum height loss recovery from the stall;
• Explain why aileron should be kept neutral during recovery from a wing drop;
• Explain how the use of flaps and power affect the stall speed and symptoms;
• What design features are built in to your aircraft to help reduce severe stall symptoms?;
and
• Explain why the stall is dependent on AoA and not IAS.
Revision
Check the student’s knowledge and understanding of the following:
• Aerofoil definitions relevant to stalling (Leading edge, trailing edge, angle of attack,
chord line, etc);
• Lift formula; and
• Position of the centre of pressure and centre of gravity in straight and level flight.
Definitions
• The stall
• Critical angle
• Stall speed
• Load factor
• Boundary layer
• Streamline flow
• Transition point
• Separation point
• Turbulent flow
The Principles
Explain with the use of diagrams/models the principles of stalling an aircraft with particular
reference to the following:
• Changes in airflow around the aerofoil as the angle of attack increases towards the
stalling angle;
• Pressure distribution around the aerofoil as the angle of attack increases towards the
stalling angle;
• Coefficient of lift increase and AoA/IAS relationship approaching the stall;
• Stagnation point, transition point and separation point approaching the stall;
• Trailing edge - reverse flow and turbulent flow;
• Centre of pressure movement and the lift/weight couple approaching the stall; and
• Approach symptoms and stall symptoms.
The considerations
Explain with the use of diagrams/models the factors which affect the stall with particular reference
to the following:
• Effect of weight on stall speed;
• Effect of power on stall speed and symptoms:
º Modified inner wing airflow;
º Stability; and
º Vertical component of thrust;
• Effect of flap on stall speed and symptoms:
º Modified Coefficient of Lift;
º Inclined inner wing chord line; and
º Stability;
• Effect of manoeuvres on stall speed and symptoms:
º Load factor;
º Vsm = Vs x √LF;
º Steep turn; and
º High speed dive pull out;
• Position of Centre of gravity:
º Forward CoG, changed Lift/Weight couple and tailplane force; and
º Aft CoG, changed Lift/Weight couple and recoverability;
Application
The air exercise will involve instructor demonstration and student practice of the following:
• Pre-manoeuvre checks;
• Approach to the clean stall and the symptoms;
• Glide recovery;
• Power recovery;
• Recovery from wing drop;
• Stall with power;
• Stall with flap;
• Stall with power and flap (Approach configuration); and
• Stall during manoeuvre.

Objectives
The long briefing is a detailed briefing which provides an essential link between academic principles
and the air exercise. It presents the student with aeronautical theory and the practical application of
the principles. The instructor must ensure that the student achieves the lesson objectives as follows:
• Objectives (Learning Outcomes) may be behavioural objectives (what the student can
do at the completion of the lesson) or knowledge objectives (what the student knows at
the completion of the lesson).
• State clear and specific objectives to ensure that your lesson plan will teach exactly
what you want it to.
• Objectives should not be activities used in the lesson plan but be the learning outcomes
of those activities.
• Objectives should be meaningful, directly measurable so ensure that you will be able to
tell whether these objectives were met or not.
• A good lesson plan will have more than one objective. A long briefing typically has 5-6.
Evidence of achieving these objectives can be obtained by questioning through the delivery of the
long brief and also through asking a selection of questions at the end.
