FDs are great tools for guidance but pilots should know when it's time to ignore them even in normal daily operations: For example a very bumpy approach couple with a potentially unstable glideslope guidance ( Eg Beijing ILS 36L) trying to chase the FD bars accurately when the aircraft is tossing around is almost impossible and certainly not recommended. Knowing the pitch and power of your aircraft is a must.
