SELL A TRIAL LESSON
Agree wiith LEVC
Just a couple of thoughts though
A trial lesson is also a sales exercise so you need to be able to SELL a PPL course--using MADAMBREAKNECKS trial lesson as an example any student i feel would be in danger of being overwhelmed.
Steep turns on a first air experience flight and PFLs you must be joking!!!
You shouldnt turn a trial lesson into a trial!!!
I used to divide the lesson into two parts my two aims were 1. let the student look out of the window and see how fantastic being in the air is and lets face it its the last real opportunity to be a relaxed passenger before the hard work begins. 2. let the student see how easy flying is(not how complicated it is with a variety of exercises) You can get a student to feel that flying is easy by getting them to do some gentle turns and flying straight and level.
What you want to achieve is get them walking away from the school saying flying is easy and simple and I cannot wait for my next lesson!
By the way i knew of an instructor who while working his last months notice used to show every new customer a spin on a trial lesson, guess how many of his returned to learn to fly?
