Be Brief

It isn't clear from your post whether your stuck with regard to a 'long brief' or the 'short brief'.

The long brief is when you take the student through the background to a lesson, explaining the theory and allowing discussion. This brief should not be given as part of a flight detail.
The short brief - no more than 15 minutes (hopefully less) - is given immediately prior to a flight detail but should be confined to informing the student as to what is to be done and what is to be achieved by the lesson end. Questions should be confined to the lesson as it is briefed. Your board brief could be as follows;

Lesson description (title); Turning at Rate 2 onto specific headings.

Aim; Change the heading of our aircraft onto a specific heading using a constant 30 degrees angle of bank; maintaining balance, altitude and with a minimum loss of speed.

Data; C152 - cruise 90kts - power. 2200rpm

Considerations; Location; N.W. Training Area; Max alt. 3000ft, min alt 1000ft. LOOKOUT -clock code. Met; visibility, cloudbase, Carb Icing, ATC - FIS/RIS. FREDA checks

The manoeuvre requires the co-ordinated use of all three controls.

Common faults; Poor lookout, failure to select a reference point, over-controling with ailerons, pitching too early. failure to use sufficient rudder (balance). poor control co-ordination


You could then use three columns to describe how it is to be done;

THE ENTRY - MAINTENANCE OF THE MANOEUVRE - THE RECOVERY

This is one of many formats. You may find things that I have not mentioned but don't be too detailed. Whatever format you or your school prefers it should be usable for ALL exercises. The format should prompt you in your planning.
