Have your briefings become a \u201cone-size fits all solution serving as a repository for redundant verbal crew crosschecks of highly automated, highly reliable systems\u201d?<\/em><\/p>\n

If the briefings at your operation sound a bit like that, then read on for some suggestions on ways you might fix \u2018em up…<\/p>\n

First up, a reminder of why we brief?<\/h4>\n

We brief because we want to try to identify anything that might mess up our flight up,<\/strong>\u00a0and work out how to stop it before it gets the chance to. That includes identifying anything silly the other person might be planning on doing, so it’s good to include them on it too.<\/p>\n

The word ‘brief’ actually means a bunch of things – of short duration, a set of instructions, underwear –<\/em>\u00a0which all seem fairly appropriate to what we are using it for (underwear being\u00a0the inner line of support, defence and protection when things get really scary…)<\/p>\n

Briefs are important.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, what do we want our brief to contain?<\/h4>\n

We want our briefing to cover any threats and possible errors<\/strong> we spot out in the big wide world, and we also want it to involve some ideas on how to mitigate against these.<\/p>\n

If you’re not sure then we find this list handy. If you say yes to any of these, talk about it:<\/p>\n
