Six Steps to the Perfect Preflight Brief Webinar

by John White | Sep 28, 2016

One of the most important reasons a flight is successful is because of a great preflight brief before takeoff. No matter how you decide to take your preflight brief the important issue is to make sure it is thorough and complete. All pilots need to make sure that we take care of this important part of planning for our flight, and the FAA has put together an excellent online webinar to help. This webinar is for all pilots whether a Student Pilot or an old line pilot. The most successful flight is one in which nothing happens, is boring and culminates in an unremarkable landing. Safe flight is in the end an uneventful flight.
