Hey Larry,
I agree that the last minute briefings are not necessarily the best way to
handle it, but that crew is not run by those in the orange vests and as has
been said we are not in a position to completely fix that policy. Anytime
you put 4500 volunteers together, some with control issues, you're going to
get some turf issues and subsequent politics.
While I do favor briefings I am not in favor of forcing it at the last
minute, I just put the info out there to let you know to expect it, as it's
the unexpected that messes with us.
RE the Run-Up,,, that's a tough one and is at every fly-in. I normally do it
in line, slightly off angle and only give it a brief 1200 rpm for a quick
mag drop test. Then on take off I always do a full power check of static RPM
and MAP as the brakes are releasing.
But, that all said, fly-in departures do tend to violate the rule of mixing
not being in a hurry with flying.
Interestingly, NOTAMs are political animals, particularly fly-in ones. In
general I think the fly-in folks try to keep them as less complicated as
possible while the FAA might have another agenda entirely. So the less they
say the better in terms of being easy to remember and in terms of
"violating" something you missed.
While many claim they don't need the briefing and or NOTAM, having those on
board will go a long way towards demonstrating you were trying to be as
fully prepared as possible, which will get asked if there's an incident.
