Of course, what has not been discussed is one can think ahead and share one's mental model in advance. On a dark night in the tropics one can get the QRH out and review the items, or discuss with your colleague that if all goes squirrels or you get NAV AIR DATA SYS EICAS what pitch and thrust you are going to set after AP, AT and FD have all been switched off if you do not plan to follow the 4°/70%N1 in the QRH. This is fairly common practice at my airline.
