Back in the early 1980's I was a PPL and when ever I was going somewhere in the CAF 707 I always asked to ride in the jump seat. One really shyte day we were assigned the ILS into Ottawa.. The guy driving was a long in the tooth exchange RAF Flt Lt. With a huge cross wind and continuous light to moderate chop he hand flew the approach. The control wheel was making continuous big arcs but all I saw on the HSI were the unmoving needles in a perfect cross.. We broke out at 200 ft with a 20 deg crab angle which was quickly followed by a smooth touchdown one wheel at a time exactly on centerline.
I hate to be one of those old "back in the day, pilots could really fly" old codgers but I bet that today there is only a tiny minority in the cockpit of your average Boeing or Airbus that could do the same....
