Take a look at the flows on the Maddog vs those automated airplanes, it's a joke. You are doing 3 or 4 things at a time continuously from the pushback checklist through the climb check and then again from the approach checklist until you shut down. The time in between you are always worried that the airplane is going to get you violated because it doesn't do what you told it to do. It does build some good PM habit patterns because if you don't back each other up in the Maddog, you are both screwed.
