Wink Briefing

As they told us in Airbus.France : the PF will read directly from the MCDU and the PNF will hold the SID to make sure that all constraints and routes are exactly the same as predicted. The briefing sequence goes as follows:
1-Miscellaneous:MTO,NOTAM,MEL,CDL,Use of Anti ice,radar.
2-INIT page: PF will say the BLOCK FUEL,EXTRA/TIME,TOW,LW. and Fuel on Board from the EWD.
3-PERF T/O: RWY-FLAPS-FLEX TO-V1 VR V2-TRANS ALT-THRUST RED/ACC-ENG OUT ACC.
4-F/PLN: Altitude target blue on the PFD,SID on the ND, VOR/ADF tunning for departure,F PLN page:RWY,SID
RWY HDG after TO? Turn after TO?SID or radar vector, Initial ALT/FL, Selected Navaids.
5-Engine Failure:Before V1 CAPT Stops the A/C F/O monitors DECEL,REV.
After V1: Continue takeoff
Eng.Out routing will be….
(EOSID(if appl.),EO ACC,MSA, immediate turn, overweight landing)

That is a typtical Briefing before eningine start as per Airbus Industry, of course each airline has it’s own policy and procedures and you may find a little deference from one airline to another. For the flow of the Briefing you can find an e copy at www.smartcockpit.com under take off brienfing.
