Had a young person new on type, in fact any type, recently on a dead leg, asking if he could hand fly it for a period. Yes sure I replied, as I actively encourage hand flying, when conditions are suitable. However passing through the mid 20's on the climb out on this occasion, the head F/A came up front and asked whats wrong? Nothing I said, why? We are all feeling sick back here, the aircraft is going up and down she said. Confirming the A/P does a better job than most of us humans.
Chasing an airspeed rather than flying an attitude?
Sometimes, hand flying is appropriate, sometimes it is not.
