Best ever brief and debrief
Flying a cub on amphibious floats this week. Did some flying with one instructor and asked for a change. Nice chap, but could not stop talking. At all, at any point.
Got the CFI. Nice change, got on with the refresher flying in a distinctly fresh breeze, nice little waves but we (he) found the sheltered bits. Final landing back on the hard runway in 15kts across.
Got told I could fly solo in the morning, as long as less wind, get the aircraft out but don't go till he arrives.
Morning comes, cub all preflighted and ready to go.
Asked what I wanted to do, told him an hour's water circuits with a bit of boating in between.
Briefing was
"Ok, go flying. Don't forget the gear"
Did that, came back.
Debrief was "Did you have fun?" On getting a happy Yes! He asked "Did you break anything?" On getting "No" that concluded the debrief.
Can anyone beat that for useful? Actually paying attention to the first syllable?
