Hi aviator hi,

They just asked for whatever takeoff brief you do right meow in the cockpit....here is what I brief right meow based on the CRM & the TEM model (Threat and Error Management):

DEPARTURE BRIEF

Taxi Route out/hot spots
Duties (PF/PM)
Aborted takeoff considerations
Less then 80kts, more then 80kts to V1
Malfunction after V1
Engine Failure Path
Emergency Landing Plan
Departure route, RNAV or non RNAV SID
Acceleration Height, noise abatement procedure (NADP 1 or 2)
Wx considerations
Terrain considerations
Transition Altitude/level

As far as briefing in the van or as the Capitan:

OPERATIONAL BRIEF

Airport & Operational info
Notams
MELs
Best watch shop in Hong Kong
Display & automation threats
Other potential threats and foreign/ICAO policies
I'm human too, help me out if I do something silly


ARRIVAL BRIEF

STAR
Terrain in the area
Monitored approach brief
Approach plate
RNAV/CANPA
MAP procedure
Acceleration Height
Diversion plan if likely
Runway conditions
Planned taxi to cargo area

Every company has their favorite ways to brief, they just want to hear yours or what a good safe pilot would say with relevant information for the departure brief. They were using Cincinatti and Brussles with us for the departure briefs this week.
