The geniuses who designed the MD911 installed automatic controllers for all the major systems, Hyd., Elect. Fuel and Air. In the normal "Auto Mode" you didn't need to touch anything on the overhead, or turn on anything, the Auto Controllers took care of it all, to include "Fuel Management" which pushed fuel to the horizontal stab during climb, to obtain a 32% CG at top of climb, to reduce drag, because the MD911 was always over burning.
The problem was if you went off schedule...
