A syllabus is AFM/POH agnostic. Of course I teach the syllabus. However, after further conversing the SOP is conflict with the approved checklist.

So, which do you ignore? The SOP, which says approach and landing clean, or the checklist which says Flaps-Set, and Airspeed 65-70 knots?

The way I see it, one either changes the SOP, or changes the checklist. If I am Joe-pilot, I go with configuring the aircraft based on what's on the checklist.
