No need on the panel, our Flight Engineer has a superb copy in his QRH...always at the ready.

.. or, at the expense of speaking heresy in the current flight management environment ... if one occasionally hand flies on raw data .. then one necessarily knows the relevant numbers as a memory item ...

For folk transitioning I always made sim time to fit in practice on a total takeoff pitot static failure (plus anything else which might have been useful) with an IMC recovery off an ILS. Appeared to be useful and certainly built up the confidence after a couple of runs.
