I would be interested to know what Type you are flying?
Purple Pilot
In my 18,000 odd hours I would be arrogant in the extreme to say that I have encountered all problems, but I hope that I have enough knowledge and experience to know when to deviate from SOP's. When you do deviate make sure you have thought out all the techinical reasons why the SOP was there. If you do then deviate remember that if it turns pear shaped and you survive the lawyers and judges are going to have a field day with your ass.
