After many years working with an Asian carrier (Chinese pilots) I found the best approach briefing was to ask the PNF what he/she was going to do when one of the crew shouted out GA! Company SOP called for very strict approach limits after GS capture or FAF/FAP. The slightest deviation form any of the prescribed perameters called for an immediate GA.

The penalty for failng to GA for the PF was worse than the penalty for infringing any of the limits.

How did the company know PF had crossed a limit? FODAS pulled for every flight and a copy in the Chief Pilot's Office before crew transport arrived at OPS.

Everything else was well and truly memorised (Mesmorised?)

Truth is often stranger..........
