Seems like everyone wants to re-invent the flying wheel.

Each aircraft, at least Boeing, has a flight crew training manual associated with it. The test pilots who write these books are charged with developing the proper techniques and procedures to fly the aircraft in the most efficent and above all...Safe manner.

The procedures written in the manuals, come about after hours of testing and are updated as they refine the profiles. The flight test department at Boeing has made all the errors for us and corrected them by making the training manuals available for each model.

Follow what they have told us and there can be few problems. It's when a few people decide to become their own test pilots, that in certain situations, lead to difficulties.
