clearance
OPERATIONS CREW TERRAIN
- Schedule pressure - Fatigue - High terrain
- Delays - Low experience - Unfamiliar environment
- Late crew - Complacency - Complex visual approach
- Load issues - Distraction
- Training
- Crew that is not Standard

CRUISE BRIEFING when the aircraft reaches cruise level and the flight crew expects specific operational threats
(e.g., high terrain enroute, weather awareness and avoidance) or before the aircraft enters areas with special
operational rules

RELIEF CREW BRIEFING when flight crew members change seat in augmented crew operation

RE-BRIEFING in the case of any new identified threats or changes to the planned flight strategy (e.g., when the
Departure Change checklist is applied. Also, in case of major delay since the briefing was performed or in case of
a major deviation from the original flight plan).

DEPARTURE BRIEFING

Step PF PM

1 Cockpit door closed – Set an environment with no distraction

2a Plan
- T.O RWY (Intersection)
- SID designator
- First cleared altitude
- MSA/MOR for climb trajectory
- Extra fuel and time

2b Plan
- Hotspots of planned taxi route
- Stop margin for RTO
- EOSID
- Return/diversion considerations
- Special operation
- Non-standard operation

3a Identified THREATS

3b Identified THREATS

4 MITIGATIONS
