If a DRAFT report is required, which briefing should occur first?

• A. DRAFT report to IP
• B. Holding Brief
• C. Approach Brief
• D. Missed Approach Review

Answer: (A)

When a DRAFT report is required, you want the first action to be sending that draft to IP for review. The draft is a preliminary version of what happened, what is known, what is uncertain, and what actions are recommended. Getting IP’s review up front ensures they see and comment on the information before any operational briefings are prepared or delivered. This helps ensure subsequent briefings—such as those about holding patterns, the approach, or handling a missed approach—are based on a reviewed and consistent set of facts. If you skip the draft-to-IP step and move straight into operational briefings, you risk propagating unverified information or misaligning on the known facts. The other briefings are important, but they rely on having a solid, IP-vetted draft as the foundation.
