Passenger Briefing - COMPLETE. You may find this item, or something similar to it, on the
pre-start checklist for just about any small or piston general aviation (GA) aircraft you fly.
You are probably familiar with the passenger briefings you hear on airliners, and you know
that the regulations -- Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 91.107 --
require you to brief your passengers on how to fasten and unfasten seat belts and
(if installed) safety harnesses.
That's clearly important, but have you ever stopped to think about what else a truly
"complete" passenger briefing in a GA aircraft should include? If not,you might
start by taking a look at 14 CFR 91.519, which outlines the briefing requirements for large
and turbine-powered multiengine airplanes and fractional ownership programs. While not
everything on this list applies to a typical GA airplane, it still contains all the basic
elements for a comprehensive and professional briefing. Arranged for easy recall, here are
the items essential to a complete passenger SAFETY briefing.
