    <message>Before we start up, we need to brief what we'll do in case of an engine fire on startup. As
      this isn't our aircraft, and we're fully insured, we'll simply open the door and run away.</message>

  <step>
    <message>Next, we check our seatbelts, and seat adjustments. Cessnas can get worn seat rails that
      sometimes cause the seat to slip backwards, often just as you take off, so make sure it is secure.</message>
