Section II: Briefings
Passenger Briefing

PASSENGER BRIEFING
(To be performed on every flight)
(A) SEATBELTS
a. Explain how to use them. They should plug the male end, or tongue into the
female end and pull snugly across the hips. Show passengers how to latch
and unlatch. Also show them how to pull the harness over their shoulder,
across the chest, and attach it.
b. Explain that seatbelts must be worn AT ALL TIMES.
(B) EXITS
a. Explain how to lock and unlock the door and overhead latches.
b. In the event of an emergency, the baggage door could be used as an
emergency exit.
c. Advise your passengers that in the event of a forced landing, they should wait for the
aircraft to come to a complete stop, then the door should be unlatched to
allow the passengers in the rear to exit first, followed by those sitting up
front.
(C) PERTINENT INFORMATION to include:
a. Positive exchange of flight controls
b. A sterile cockpit will be imposed during critical phases of flight (i.e. only flight-related
conversations will take place).
c. In the event of an emergency, follow my instructions and remain calm.

Pre-Takeoff Briefing

PRE-TAKEOFF BRIEF
(To be performed on every flight)
Make a final review of your aircraft performance sheet including VR, takeoff distance, and
landing distance. Then brief your crew members on the following scenarios:
*First, brief who will be the PIC in an actual emergency and who will back up the PIC with the
appropriate checklists.
Engine failure on takeoff roll:
• Explain that you will bring the power to idle and apply brakes as necessary
 Follow up by shutting off mixture, ignition, and anything else associated with fuel.
 Request assistance from tower (this will likely be in the form of towing as you DO NOT
want to attempt restarting the aircraft to move it).
 Complete Engine Secure checklist.
Engine failure on takeoff with runway remaining:
 Explain that you will pitch for best glide (_) kts and land on the remaining runway. Use flaps
as necessary.
 Follow up by shutting off mixture, ignition, and anything else associated
with fuel.
 Request assistance from tower (this will likely be in the form of towing as you DO NOT
want to attempt restarting the aircraft to move it).
 Complete Engine Secure checklist.
Engine failure on takeoff without runway remaining and without adequate altitude to turn
back for the runway:
 Explain that you will pitch for best glide (_ kts) and land straight ahead within the windscreen.
Prepare for an emergency landing. Attempt emergency restart procedures as time permits - see
checklist. Use flaps as necessary once landing is assured.
 Follow up by shutting off mixture, ignition, and anything else associated with fuel.
 Request assistance from ATC unless contact is lost, then try 121.5, and call OU at 405-
325-7231.
 Complete Engine Secure checklist.
Engine failure on takeoff without runway remaining but possibly enough altitude to turn
back for the airport:
Generally, this is not a recommended procedure and requires judgment. The usual problem is
you don't have enough altitude to make the turn back to the field, so you would have a plan of
action ahead of time and have an idea where open areas are so you can land straight ahead, or
with minimal maneuvering left or right. Should you be high enough (we won't say what high
enough is), you should pitch for best glide, turn towards any runway, set up for an emergency
landing, and naturally communicate your intentions on the radio to ATC. Again, it is strongly
emphasized that MANY PILOTS GET THEMSELVES KILLED BY THINKING THEY CAN
MAKE THE TURN BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND LAND THE AIRPLANE AFTER
LOSING AN ENGINE.
