FO on A320.
Weather and trafic permitting:
- On departure, manual flight up to 10000ft at least.
- I fly the approach manually, A/THR off and AP off at around 10000ft, FD ON or OFF.
I don't want to become a button pusher who's afraid to disconnect. I use the automatics in busy airspace and bad weather but I want to keep my handflying skills so I hand fly whenever I can. Don't understand the people flying a visual APP with AP!
