PASSENGER BRIEF
• No smoking in aircraft
• Proper use and adjustment of seat belts
• Location and proper operation of emergency exits
• Location of life jackets, first aid kits and fire extinguishers, and if
required, survival kits and life rafts.
• Requirement of a passenger occupying a control seat, not to
interfere with the controls during the flight
• Operation of ventilation system
• Proper stowage of passengers’ carry on items during critical phases
of flight
• Seat backs must be upright for take-off and landing
• Mobile phones and electronic devices must be off at all times

TAKE – OFF SAFETY BRIEF


• If there is an engine failure, fire or abnormality whilst on the
runway I will close the throttle and brake as required
• If there is an engine failure or major abnormality shortly after take-
off with sufficient runway or overrun remaining, I will lower the
nose, select full flap, land and brake as required
• If the engine fails with insufficient runway or overrun, I will lower
the nose, maintain (…) knots (best glide speed), select a suitable
field 30 degrees either side of the nose, extend flaps as required
and land.
• I will only turn back to the runway if I am at 1000 feet AGL or on
the downwind leg

DEPARTURE AND APPROACH BRIEF
