On the basis that even a PPL must do a basic safety briefing, we assume that every flight has one of those.
With that in mind, and the fact that the sylabus requires no technical briefing for exercise 3 and also requires no amount of instruction, how would operating within the requirements of the approved sylabus cause a flight to be illegal?

Whirley,
I agree that helicopters are a different ball game when it comes to letting the unfamiliar get their hands on a control.
The point I am trying to make is that many clubs do a long winded boring unnecessary briefing because they know they are operating at the fringe of legality and want to some how try and make themselves feel better.
Unfortunately the result is that some who would have given it a go are put right off by all the technical rubbish.
Back to basics, perhaps we need to put the elements of a briefing under the old "Must Know", "Need to Know", Nice to Know", "Don't need to know".
