Post-Flight Briefing (Debriefing)

POST-FLIGHT BRIEFING (DEBRIEFING) DEFINITION

  1. Review with the student each exercise undertaken during the flight. In the case of a dual flight, the debriefing should include strengths and weaknesses and suggestions to improve performance. An outline of the next training session should be given along with study assignments.
  2. This should follow all flights, dual and solo. Points should include:
    1. the student's own assessment of the flight and performance;
    2. your assessment of the student's performance.

Learning Factors

7. Listed below are seven learning factors. Read them carefully and determine whether they apply to you as you learn new skills and knowledge. If they apply to you, they will also apply to your students. Attempt to associate a single word that is used to represent the entire learning factor. These words will be used throughout the guide and in test questions on instructional technique.

Learning is made easier when the following factors are used:

Exercise 26 - Vortex Ring

The aerodynamic stresses to which an airframe and rotor system is exposed during Vortex Ring State are virtually unknown. Exercise 26 which deals with this condition of flight has been retained, but the emphasis should be placed on the early recognition and avoidance rather than practising a fully developed Vortex Ring State. Controlling the rate of descent should be stressed in situations where Vortex Ring is likely to develop.
