Section 6.7 closes out show-day operations with post-showresponsibilities. Performers have landed, the crowd is dispersing — andyour job isn’t done.

The performer debrief first. What’s the right format for that?

Keep it structured and professional. Review what went as briefed andwhat deviated — both directions matter. If something worked better thanexpected, that’s worth capturing too. Discuss any communicationsproblems, schedule conflicts, or airspace issues. Performers see thingsfrom the cockpit you don’t see from the ground, so create the space forthose observations. Then identify what carries forward to the next showday.

Documentation — what’s the standard for what goes in writing?

Every deviation from the briefed program, written. Every incident, near-miss, or significant event, written. FAA Order 8900.1 defines reportingthresholds — not everything rises to formal FAA reporting, but you need toknow where that threshold is. And regardless of formal reportingobligations, preserve the record. The IIC may ask for it. The FlightStandards District Office may ask for it. ICAS may ask for it. You want thatdocumentation to exist and to be accurate.

Between show days at a multi-day event — what’s the reset checklist?

Update the show schedule for any changes that came out of the debrief.Address identified hazards before the next show day begins — not themorning of, before. Confirm all performers and resources are still availableand nothing has changed overnight. Reset communications equipmentand confirm the Emergency Response Plan is in ready state. Then updateyour weather outlook and brief status at the next morning brief. You’reessentially running the pre-show planning cycle again, compressed.
