Passenger safety breifings on Bizjets
 

What do you give to your pax as a safety briefing ? Do you play a standard video, multiple languages or maybe you give the briefing yourself ? Do they always comply with legal requirements (ie do you demenstrate safety belts, life jackets etc) ?

I've seen a a variety of safety briefs in the bizjet world ranging from very good, fully compliant to non existent. I'd be interested to know what other operators do.

Thanks.

I gave a real good one when our company was audited by IS-BAO and I didn't run away as quickly as my dear colleagues. At least it was good enough to get certified :) We do not have the luxury of on-board video or flight attendants, so we have to do it the old-fashioned way with demo-vests and demo-masks. When no vest is required, I will not demonstrate it.

Luckily 95 percent of our passengers are regular customers which means that I have do do the safety briefing only a few times every year. And even then, they usually cut you short after a few seconds "What do you think - we are not flying for the first time, so shut up and get us moving instead!"

Around here (SE Asia) I am yet to see a passenger briefing. The girls wouldn't dare take the time of such important passengers, so they refuse to. The only alternative is for the pilots to communicate with them in sign language, which wouldn't work very well.
