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!!!
Demo, not teach
and only if they fancy it (many don't). I find after some of them treating the aeroplane during the first half of teh lesson as if it will fall out of the sky if the lose concentration, the second half of the lesson (them flying back to the home airfield) goes much better and they enjoy themselves even more.
Others, however, are content to waggle the stick a bit then hand back control and watch the scenery - they don't get the full treatment. I have one such on my current student list and he's getting a decent handle on exercises up to 9. He's still a bit nervous about the prospect of doing 10, so we'll approach it gently.
It all depends, dunnit?
