I thought MINE was long at maybe 25. If you can't generate a product in the magic 6 hours, it probably doesn't belong as part of a brief. After all, you're supposed to be demonstrating what an ideal flight brief is. A 2 hour opus in 4 parts with bathroom breaks really isn't conveying what you mean to tell. The good stuff gets lost in the crap. Rule of thumb--it shouldn't take longer to describe an event than it actually does to do it.
Agree, mine was 63 slides, almost all imagery type slides. Some of the best section briefs I have ever sat through required little more than a map and two post it notes. The problem though is that now advanced quals and designations seem to require the PowerPoint Opus.
It pains me greatly when someone is giving a brief with eye charts full of text. I don't want to read 1000 words of text in a brief, that defeats the point. Lots of imagery makes me happy.
Lots of text sucks...unless the briefer proceeds to read every freakin' word that is on the slide.
Then it is great!:timebomb2
Oh Gawd, that is the 10 circle of hell being in one of those! If you're going to put all your speaker notes on a big screen behind you, sit the hell down and I'll deliver the brief!
No, but that would add to its veracity.:icon_wink
CAS = kneeboard hell. I have to use my approach strap on my other leg to keep everything organized, as well as putting charts under my thighs on the seat.
Welcome to the club. WTF is your WSO doing back there? My standard has always been, if your pilot is wearing two kneeboards, you're not doing your job.

A lot of the cards I have for backup, as most of them are WSO responsibility, but there are still a few I use all the time, such as 9-line cards, charts, admin, etc.

LOL Ah, to be a nugget again. I'll tell you what a senior LT told me in the RAG: There will be a time in the not so distant future when you'll be able to go out and do just about any mission your jet can do without batting an eye, or even thinking too much about it, or having to sweat about the planning that you fret over today. You'll just go and do it because it's what you do, and because you're good at your job.
