I've been trying to hand fly as much as possible. The last two times I flew the 350, I hand flew the trips. I have a captain who encourages it. It was very good to do, and it got intense on the back end of both trips trying to come down, but maintain a certain speed while making a tight turn to final and intercepting the loc at the g/s intercept. I felt like it was a pretty good workout when things are busy and you are still trying to hand fly precisely.
