Anyone teaching light-aircraft evacuation?
Although airlines have been teaching evacuation procedures for a long time, what's being done in lightplanes?
Do enlighten me!

Mandatory in the UK to give a safety brief to passengers (and students on trial lessons) to include - among other things - evacuation procedure, whatever the size of aircraft.

"As I pass you on the way out, you are to assume the rank of Commander! "
Seriously though... As MrAverage says it should be briefed on how to get out, where everything is and how to undo everything in the PAX safety brief before starting. Often omitted however, is a vector for Beagles point 3 above. "Away from the spinny thing at the front (or on the wing) at a steady pace"

On my last flight the briefing was
Head Set off
Canopy open
Right hand on the D ring
Left hand on the harness release
Jump out the left side

Thanks for your replies gents
For light aircraft ( not airliners)
You're all more or less correct,
but it goes to show that nobody has given it more serious thought.
I propose that it deserves much more attention now before the Regulators
tie Instructors down. The UK seems to be the most aware right now.
I've already prepared a PPT briefing from which one can build & adapt further, based on the different cabins/canopies/doors/makes.
As today's students become tomorrow's new airline pilots, Instructors now need to provide good examples of advanced Aeronautical Decision Making.(ADM)

So providing a short pre-flight safety briefing now constitutes "advanced aeronautical decision making"
That has to be the silliest post on a flight training forum I have read in a long time.

BPE, I couldn't agree more...
Death by PowerPoint just to tell someone how to undo their harness, open the door and run away bravely....

Sarcasm is the lowest form
BPE & Big Pistons Forever- the title seems to fit your super intelligence!
If it's not ADM, then what example do you wish to demonstrate?
An in-depth briefing complete with diagrams still works best for my students.
Seriously what else do you propose?

There is no "decision making" advanced or otherwise, in providing a passenger brief. It is required by law and common sense and the main contents of what to say are obvious.
Teaching pilot decision making is an important part of flight training but at its core the concept speaks to the ability of a pilot to consider all aspects of a unique situation and decide on the best course of action. This does not apply to the subject at hand.
Your post just perpetuates the impression among professional aviators that all instructors are numpties
