With that said, XJT will work with you to get you through if you can continue to improve through training. Good luck.
The visual "hand flying" will come later when you are expected to be able to fly the Expressway Visual 31 at LGA; the Bridge or Stadium Visual 29 at EWR; or the River Visual 19 at DCA. You aren't taught this in the sim, but are expected to be able to do that stick and rudder stuff.
