Pretty much as I expected. No one was monitoring the instruments for a significant period of time. This happened after an issue with flap selection/overspeed. The focus by the pilot flying on flap concerns instead of instrument scan was long enough to result in an undesired flight condition.

While hand-flying is nice, using the autopilot in more challenging conditions can have the advantage of allowing one to have more focus on other distractions while the automatics take care of aircraft attitude.
