Agree with Flygare. The more you practice, the easier it gets. The more familiar you are the less uncomfortable you feel when you have to think a bit more.At least with my Company we hand fly and practice raw data approaches as much as we like....not always because the automatics are so
you have to....
The scary thing is in 30 years time new pilots will be amazed that we once had to keep the FD bars crossed using old fashioned control yokes and not a trackpad.
