Explanation
AIM 7-1-5 lists the background information a pilot gives when requesting a briefing, starting with the type of flight (VFR/IFR) and the aircraft number or pilot's name, then aircraft type, departure, route, destination, altitude and times. True airspeed is part of a flight plan and fuel on board is not requested for a briefing.
