It's already happening at my place. My PT was this month, and the FIRST maneuver was a handflown, autothrottle off departure procedure out of LAX, vectors back to a non-PROF localizer approach to a full stop. AT and AP stayed off the whole time. This was in an MD-11 sim.
Did have you all three engines working? Easy then.

Some people on this thread would have made a mess in their pants if they had seen some of our departures and visual approaches in the 72 back in my USMS days. We use to practice rolling wings level on the PAPI or GS at a 100 feet from a constant descending turn from downwind. We also had a rather unique visual departure profile we used to ,er, calm down our 'passengers'. That was a lot of fun.
