The head down flow takes no more than 3 seconds to accomplish. I do agree that if needed use all 4 eyes out until gate (flaps out and radar on, not start the APU... ), fortunately it never happens

The question is on a different topic: the original procedure supported measured and organized workflow. The new one requires interpretation and airmanship. Where is the improvement / what did I miss? It's about SOP design or me being undertrained.
