Left to right, top to bottom. Works pretty well on Jepp layouts. Always single pilot
Like Mike, I'm a keep it simple guy. Before the brief is the set-up - I use Comms, Navs, Headings, CIS (the last one is specific to the airframe - refers to setting up any kind of processed data.) No briefing here, just setting up.
The brief is uber simple: Name of the approach, inbound course, course reversal info, DH/MDA, MAP, and the first step of the Missed. Step downs are briefed as we go.
I expect no threats. Ever. I don't fly in iran and syria.The Company tells us to use "WANT".
W - Weather
A - Airport/area arrival (the approach itself gets briefed here; just read the items on the Briefing Strip and make sure you've set the panel up accordingly)
N - NOTAMS - any of them that are pertinent to the operation ("West helipad closed")
T - Threats - namely, the biggest threat you anticipate encountering, and how you intend to mitigate it.
Why you waste your time with that POS, I have no idea. And Army guys seem to love it. I hate it, especially when its so apt to screw me and I have to reset it, and the CPI is counter-intuitive.
Raw data works just fine for me. Interesting that for an aircraft where everything else is high quality, they install that piece of garbage.
The only thing I use the Nav bar function of the CIS for is to remind me Im in crossfeed.

Threat and error management, dude. TEM is a conceptual underpinning for much of what we do here in terms of safety practices, in fact. It's good stuff and all operators should be using TEM concepts.I expect no threats. Ever. I don't fly in iran and syria.
Seriously? I've yet to see something remotely dangerous on an ifr plate.
Sure.I really like this one as it can be used for VFR approaches too.
When Bush Flying we don`t usually use any cklists everything is turned into Acronyms, yours will be added to my list.

You guess correctly.I would think these are more environmental concerns of special emphasis like Ice, T-Storm Activity/Location, Terrain/Obstructions, Migratory Bird Activity, Tailwinds or Gusts, etc? Not necessarily "dangerous" just extra considerations and awareness building. Dunno, I'm just guessing as to the application.
This is another subject that has no one right answer.
