Slightly off thread but .......

I was examining a CFS(H) FHT, which required a full brief - as per a Mass Brief to a Course - followed by the instructional flight.

The questioning technique taught for the Mass Brief was "Pose, pause and pounce". One didn't say "Bloggs, what is.......?" cos everyone who wasn't Bloggs would switch off. So it was : "What is ....... (sweeps room with eyes).........Bloggs?", thereby keeping everyone's attention to the question.

So this was a one on one Mass Brief of whatever exercise, with the examiner (moi) as the only student. Keeping to the brief, the FHT candidate asked EVERY question thus: "What is......(sweeps [otherwise empty] room with eyes) .... Teeters?"

It was quite difficult keeping a straight face throughout the Brief ........ but he did pass the FHT!
