Plus the damn airplane gives you master warning and down grade chirp if you hand fly. I'm insulted! LOL
Not entirely true. For 6-8 months hand flying has been a requirement on OE. Yes, I agree it should be done more and not just when you're forced to. I also can't fix guys not practicing LOC and APP NAV approaches and then returning to their annual sim totally lost. Visuals backed up with an ILS everyday does not keep someone proficient on other approaches.
