I tend to think "less is more" when it comes to briefings. Include what you are comfortable with on the day. Your familiarty with the Aerodrome, crew, conditions and IAW your Comp SOP's will decide this.

I have always been of the understanding these Jepp charts are designed to be read left to right across the top box's and thats only what I verbalize in my briefs (although I dont say the ATC Freq's) terrain of course is the "big one" and dont forget the MAP. I usually say the electronic TCH although its probably not necessary.

Many still brief as per the old DC-8 days, but the more progressive operators have modernized briefs to suite an FMC environment. Chart (same and correct app), terrain, Wx and operational considerations (diff from normal) are good starting points. EFB's have further improved this.

PS; I watch out for the "fine print" there can be important points hidden there.
