as a pilot you should always be ready for the unexpected (as we all know).
manually flying your bird is good every once in a while. that way you know your always at the top of your game. not saying that you will be perfect (because no one is) but if something goes wrong you will be ready to react confidently.
i know some pilots that can't even maintain straight and level flight (basic ppl stuff. any 17 year old with 15 hours can do that) and thats one of the consequences of automation.
one day everything could fail on you. and if you can't fly manually,navigate and do the rest of the duties all together at the same time. we know what will happen.
flying in Khartoum could be really nice at times because you get to do lots of things that you can't do anywhere else. especially when the weather is right.
if you come there in April/may you would love it.
Happy flying!!!!
