yes they do.. .The FMC is NOT the autopilot.. .The presence of high ground is never a problem if the FMC is correctly guiding and the autopilot is correctly following. We're there to ensure this.. .The autopilot frees the pilots up from the manual manipulation of the controls and 'evens' out the workload between the two pilots. In the event of flying a manual go-around (which this one may well have been) the workload on the PNF is very high as the PF has to concentrate most of his attention on the flight path. It is a balance. Good airmanship is using the available resources to give yourself more capacity for thinking ahead and making decisions, but you must keep practicing the skills so they don't get rusty for when you have to rely on them.
