Not exactly sure what the Tfly refreshers include, but I suggest as previously mentioned a reminder of basic radio use as well - I encourage all crew I fly with to go up front and learn how to use the radio in the (unlikely) event they have to. The ones who show a heightened level of interest/ability, I also recommend they know where/what the squawk is, and how to change it should the unfortunate (
) event of double-pilot incapacitation arise. Highly highly unlikely, granted, but knowledge is a good thing...
As for the pilot involved, our airline changed our procedures to say now that we can remove the pilot from the seat based on the able-pilots directions. Going to be a pretty hard task, especially for some of our smaller crew - but obviously worth it if it saves a life!
As for the charts/jeps etc, practice makes perfect I guess - particularly with the jeps - make a game out of it (in the refresher) - give a prize to the person who can locate the chart for XXX the quickest etc. This will give them an idea of the layout of the folder, should the (unlikely) event rise that they need to help.
Hope that helps!
