Ideally, a competent instrument pilot should, with hardly raising of an eyebrow, be able to switch seamlessly from AFDS/ automatics operation, to disconnecting all the goodies and hand flying raw data. if the pilot cannot accomplish that task without the potential for a PAN call, then seriously he needs to recognise his failings and rectify them. This applies equally to those in the LH or RH seat. A professional pilot should be equally skilful at both tasks - automatics or raw data flight.
