As usual: BOAT=MISSED, DIRT=UNDER CARPET, PLOT= NOT AVAILABLE
Thoughts?
What we must concentrate on here is... should the long briefing be interrupted by an early descent, should you or shall you:
a. Request a climb back up to cruise level to complete the briefing
b. Enter a hold between 5,000' and 10,000' and convert the mini brief into the long brief, mate
c. Go around and/or discontinue approach when you reach the unbriefed segment of the flight.
More for your benefit than mine.
