From: I pilot
Try flying a round-dial commuter prop single pilot in the soup with an engine failure and/or a radio malfunction and then tell me being a PM while PF handflys a modern jet is hard work.. Also, a good PF, spins his bugs and navs when it gets busy. If the PF is just moving the yoke and throttles, then that’s not very nice, but still manageable.

When an autopilot is not engaged: The PM should operate the FCP as directed by the PF
Earlier, it clarifies the meaning of "should:"
The word "should" is used to indicate that compliance is expected. Deviations are permitted only where an operational requirement exists.
And earlier than that, sets the scope for applying these SOP's in general:
It is understood that the standard operating procedures contained in this manual cannot cover every possible contingency. Common sense and sound judgement is required in dealing with varying situations that may arise.
When ATC gives us direct to a fix, a new altitude, and a frequency change all in the same transmission, I think it is an act of sound judgement for the PF to set the altitude bug so we don't forget the new altitude by the time the PM is finished doing the other 2 things.

I was supposedly hired for a data entry position, next thing I know im in the front seat and they want me to land the plane!?!. I thought hand-flying meant you use your hands! But I guess it's a 'thing'. Still catching up..
