Never mind briefing. Lets start with just reading the chart correctly. Then we would not have;

DME is not collocated with the ILS so PNF should have Ibiza VOR selected and PF ILS.
DME reads 0 at threshold .
Does it? I estimate that the DME will read about 1.2nm at the threshold not allowing for slant range errors.

or

If you have to fly the full approach (no vectors to final), you may have to do a procedure turn or a dogleg path
There is no procedure turn published. The full procedure from the IBZ utilises a racetrack procedure.

or

Then you find there is no DME definition of the OM or the MM, so you may be confused by DME readings vs distance to the runway...
Well, I see from the chart that the DME will be aprox 5.6 at the LOM and 1.8 at the LMM (again ignoring slant range errors). However, do you need a DME as well as the marker audio and visual indications?

Clearly, briefing the procedure can be very important.
