Ab initio flight training is different from pretty much all other flying instruction because it is no knowledge to knowledge. Most other instruction is apply the existing knowledge in different ways. For example teaching instrument flying. The student already knows how to maneuver the airplane by reference to the natural horizon. They now use that skill to maneuver the airplane by refence to the flight instruments. Having taught for all Canadian licenses and ratings as well as aerobatics and formation over the last 38 years I personally consider ab initio instruction and particularly the pre solo part the hardest of all the instruction I do. A student starts with knowing nothing but to solo they have to know quite a lot. Emergency procedures are a very good example of this. Just because it is there first solo doesn't mean quite a lot of bad things can't happen to them. So what you prepare them for and how you do it is quite important.
The EFATO brief I gave is probably about version 10 of that brief and is much different from the first one. It is informed by the accident record and specifically what pilots do wrong in actual EFATO's and by human factors research into the importance of initial pre programmed actions in situations of sudden high stress. I would also suggest that my brief while called an EFATO brief also works for takeoff malfunctions because it will cause a rejected takeoff in the even of a malfunction on the ground and the initial reaction for the inflight phase of lowering the noise will preserve airspeed, the loss of which is the number 1 cause of fatal EFATO/EMATO accidents. The subsequent system flow will either shut down the engine or identify an obvious cause of the problem
If you are going to instruct you have to prepare your students for emergencies. So I say again what are you going to tell a 15 hours student with respect to dealing with takeoff emergencies.
