I am a retired FE and one of the things I was paid to do was to look at the scenario and try to anticipate the unforseen consequences of certain actions. Having seen and heard about the results of some smooth operator's non standard aviation tricks I can only advise pilots to keep it standard. When it hits the fan you will find your capacity is greatly reduced and you need a standard act to fall back on with the normal checklists while you concentrate on the abnormals.
Can you imagine in a court being asked by a lawyer why you saw fit to deviate from SOPs?
SOPs, checklists and limitations are there for a reason and it is not for the likes of us to bend them to suit ourselves.
