Brief as follows:

X IBA d20 @4000'
descend to 2200' on IBA 053R/233Tr
IBA d16 L turn H196 to intercept LOC
G/S @ IBZ 1490'
DA 261' RVR 600m
MAP climb to 2000' H243
L turn to IBZ hold @3000', parallel entry
Sure, I would remember ALL of that! NOT!

The plate itself is laid out for you SO AS TO FACILITATE the briefing, which is why they were changed to look like this over the past few years.

Obviously, the information that is required by one's Op Specs are REQUIRED, unless the procedure has been flown earlier in the day, in which case, 411A's suggestion MIGHT suffice. Otherwise, some BASIC information is required to ensure BOTH crew members on on the same page (I know, I' ll get my coat!).

Anyway, without getting into the particulars of this specific approach, we all fly ILS approaches FOR A LIVING, so the NON-ROUTINE aspects of this particular approach (ESPECIALLY NOTAMS) would be of MOST PERTINENT VALUE to BOTH pilots before embarking on the final descent below sterile cockpit altitude.
