On one hand, there is discussion here about the absolute necessity for pilots to exercise basic airmanship and “fly” the aircraft when automated systems degrade…but on the other hand thought is presented as to having the present degraded systems capabilities modified and “improved” so that in a degraded systems situation, “piloting responsibilities” and airmanship requirements are made less demanding by….....the aircraft systems.
Making the aircraft more easily hand flyable by the typical pilot, training him, and requiring him practice it would remove one of the holey pieces of cheese.
