It is also a regulatory requirement - I, as a pilot-in-command (PIC) of a small plane (a Cessna 172, for example) am required to give my passengers a pre-flight briefing before departure. This pre-flight briefing includes such things as how to use the exits (there are but two, and one will be next to me), emergency oxygen supplies (we don't get up high enough), and so on and so forth.
My last check-flight with a CFI was not passed, because I, as PIC, did not give this pre-flight briefing to my passenger (I assumed that because he was a chief flying instructor, he knew it all already).
