Have to agree with A&C's comment - my instructor didn't ever consolidate the pre-flight check with me, AND the examiner didn't accompany me on the pre-flight check before my skill test. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">
I HOPE that this was due to the school's staff's knowledge of the thoroughness of my pre-flight checking, but without accompanying me on the check, how do they KNOW I'm being thorough?
Often people accept a situation when it is not wise to do so, because their instructor has accepted it in the past! If the instructor sets high standards, the majority of students will learn them and these good habits will become ingrained.
Hope your talk goes well, this is an excellent area to raise people's awareness of.
