g.f.
Basic flying is visual approaches; they shouldn't require much briefing beyond the crew confirming the airport/traffic is in sight...
Several years ago a Delta flight came very close to hitting the mountain at KTUS that is on the extended centerline of Runway 11L.
It almost happened to a friend of mine, too, many years ago in a Piper PA-24.
In both cases they were arriving from the west and didn't follow basic approach angle techniques.
Night visual approaches take some careful planning in mountainous areas.
