Jinkster - yes, that's what I cover when I do a long brief on nav. Use real wind (then you can include in the brief how to read MetForm 214), and also, depending on time available (and whether the student's eyes are starting to glaze over), brief on use of 6-min or half way marks, 10-degree fan lines, etc, and how to use them.
Very tempted to do a long brief on navigation
Are we talking about a long brief for your test, or a long brief after your test? If for your test, is your examiner giving you a choice??? If for real life, your school may have a view on these things once you start employment, but if not then just do what seems sensible given the time you have available with each student.
