Be careful with SM, he is not S
I presume the "S" refers to "smart". It's something I think most, if not all, here would agree upon.
And well done to the crew for compliantly following the flight manual
It's a book of suggestions, not to be slavishly followed in all cases, which is where an aviators experience comes to the fore. Slavishly following manuals, SOPs etc have been the cause of past accidents. Being management with your head stuck where the sun don't shine you wouldn't be aware of that.
