Grrr A/P Just Practice in quiet airports....

The whole autopilot thing is real easy.

If you feel inadequate if you don't hand fly enough, just disengage in low workload/VFR conditions at low traffic airports. It's actually fun and you get the "feel" back. Then if you have a situation where you cannot use it, it's a lot easier.

As for routine... I don't think any turbojet should be handflown anyway. This is 2003 and the autopilot will ALWAYS give the passengers a smoother ride.
