grammar help needed - hand flying/airmanship

Dear all,

An external audit discovered a non-existing policy on automation use on flightdeck within our company. While the issue is being addressed, as a very lowly F/O I endeavour to suggest a word on manual aircraft handling to be included. As you can already clearly see, my command of English language is quite far from being superb (I wonder whoever drives Skoda Superbs ?). May I ask the knowledgable prooners to please help me brush up on the following sentence?

If deemed suitable yet strictly within commander's authority and responsibility, it is advisable that (observing any applicable limitations and under favourable circumstances) pilots do promote hand-flying as a means of self proficiency excercise and basic airmanship keeping.

I shall believe the idea itself is very much shared across these forums. Still, my mothertongue is rather keen on long wordings and I do understeand that simplicity is the key to usefulness. All and any suggestions are sincerily welcome.

Yours,
FD
