Hi guys!
Thanks for all of the replies and advice - I think it will be very useful
I can see both sides of the argument and I think that briefing passengers is, perhaps, not something you can compartmentalise in the way that I was assuming..
Maybe the type of brief will depend largely on the passenger. I have tried different things since starting this thread and it seems that some people respond better to a detailed brief and a good look around the aeroplane before flying, others need a more informal and less obvious approach.
Thanks for all of your advice - much appreciated
P.s. I got an email from some friends the other day about a sightseeing trip over the weekend - they said "thanks for making us feel so safe - we had a great time" - must be doing something right
P.P.S BEagle - I wish the PA28 was an airliner!!!! Maybe one day..

There are a miriad of ways of briefing pax's and you are being professional and concientious by ensuring the safety of them in an way you want to put it across, so carry on.
Ignore BEeagle's depthless comments.
I have never met/trained/flown with a PPL who thought they were in an airliner. And the airline F/O's/Captains/training Captains i have flown with take the safety aspect of the flight in the Cessna 152/PA28 just as seriously as thier day-job aircraft.

Dancing with the devil, going with the flow... it's all a game to me.

That is because most of them realise that they're far more likely to pork it large in a spamcan than their office at 33'000ft. What I find worrying are the young airline wannabe students who adopt a relaxed attitude to their flying in light aircraft as though being laid back is a positive thing! Light aircraft are keen to trip up people who do not respect their nuances - how many of them casually roll on 30deg (and more) of bank on climb out from a strip at little over 500 feet whilst the airspeed dwindles away? I find myself highlighting this potentially fatal mistake over and over again with some of these guys and struggling to invent new ways of shocking them into realising their error. A photo of a stall and spin wreck perhaps? Apologies, I digress.

i heard the best way of briefing passengers:
sex...i mean secs
s. seat belts on> to and land, lower than 1000ft, in turb
e. emergency exists > where and how to use
c. controls > make sure they are aware of controls and do not touch in a dual controlled plane
s. no smoking!
so easy to remember secs
that'll do em....or HOLD ON f*****G TIGHT
