I will hand fly the approach in raw data and auto thrust out if conditions are suitable but more importantly if PNF is up to the increase in his workload and not too knackered.

Last hand flown approach with manual thrust was on Wednesday into LHR and very satisfying it was too. Good viz, light winds and a competent, alert PNF.

Company regs require use of automation in high workload situations and with degraded aircraft systems
