Golden words. I would have done the absolute same. Why does anyone have to pretend that they know better than the manufacturer how to fly the aircraft? Those were the procedures it was tested and certified with, how come that they are suddenly deemed inadequate and unfit for purpose (which is exactly what the heavy "customization" of SOPs suggests)?
