Good thing for Sully he did not follow company procedures and for all the passengers aboard. Or the BA 747 with quadruple engine failure which wasn't in any book. Had to improvise the whole thing. And.............loads of others. Sioux City comes to mind.
Yes of course you use company procedures but as an experienced airline pilot you bring much more to the party than reading checklists that may or may not reflect your actual situation. I think it is called airmanship or some other archaic word like that!
Cheers and thanks for the post.
