Brief an approach

Here is what I use..it is loose enough that you can modify it make it your own
but it works for me. It is kind of a briefing/set-up for the approac guide:
Acronym: "A MICE ATM"

A: Atis, Altimeter and approach
M: marker beacon (pins and sensitivity)
I: ID navaids
C: Course..briefed and set
E: Entry..brief PT and any set up needed
A: Altitudes. Also brief callouts expected
T: Times (if a timed approach)
M: Missed (brief and set up in standby avionics)

may sound kind of daunting but it is pretty user friendly and I have shared it
with several other people who seemed to find it useful. Your mileage may vary
