Thanks.

Surely a yearly hand-flying session won't substitute for actually doing it on the line. Assuming the wx isn't right down to mins, I'll sometimes go raw data on an approach. I suppose that would get me called into the CP's office?

You said that you hand fly visual approaches. Are you then allowed to turn off the FD?

Thanks for the P1/P2 clarification. Does the certificate say B777 P2 only? If so, how do you get around that problem when the CA is on break, and 2 FO's are up front?
