Passenger Safety Briefings
Of all the aviation magazines I subscribe to, I appreciate yours the most. “Experience is one of the cheapest things you can buy if you’re fortunate enough to get it second-hand.” Or, “You don’t live long enough to make all the mistakes yourself, so you need to learn from the mistakes of others.”
In regards to the “Passenger Safety Briefings” article in the December 2024 issue, I have developed my own passenger briefing for my Cessna 172G flown under VFR conditions. I use my briefing without fail, so that if I ever get asked on the stand, “Did you provide a briefing to your passengers?” I can reply, “Yes, I always provide a briefing.” Some of my bullets are based on experience, such as when I once landed a Cessna 150 and realized I had no ground steering because my passenger’s work boots were under the rudder pedals.
