Hey Tim,
I did my initial training to GFPT at Aerospace.

1.) They got about 10 C152s now.
Regos are KTL, JGK, TFR, FAM, KKE, BRS, IIJ, KKB, MFG, RQT.
So its hard to predict which one you would get.

2.) before the flight depending on the instructor there will be a briefing between maybe 20 mins to an hour- mine was an hour but some people have a much shorter briefing on a trial flight. This briefing will cover Effects of Controls which is basically the different functions of your yoke, rudders etc what they are capable of and how they work. How the plane basically gets airborne and keeps in the air. Your right in saying theres some handling time, which while possibly quite minimal due to it being your first flight is a great chance to see if its really your cup of tea and something you wish to pursue further.
Dont be afraid to ask questions however skewed or silly you think they are and above all just enjoy the experience, it will last with you for a long time.

Best of luck and enjoy!
Kind regards,
Matt
