Approach Briefing
I can relate to Mike Jenvey almost to the comas...
Very good briefing...
I will add... do it 200 NM from Destination, I had a very good instructor that told me... If you are not doing it at 200 NM you will not have time to do it later... if you are not doing something after that you might get in deep S#%@$#....
All the briefing described by Mike Jenvey is the best that you can get, but remember do it on time, you don't want to rush it ... the sooner the better, provided you copied the ATIS ... most of them you can get before 200 NM...
Keep it safe..
