In my experience of training low-time pilots on modern helicopters with a high level of automation, it is not the "flying" in the sense of moving the controls that is the problem; it is the very low levels of situational awareness and poor decision-making that stem from low experience levels that present the biggest competence issues. A fancy FMS and flight director do not necessarily help, they can just present further opportunities to make mistakes which will go unnoticed if the pilot does not fully appreciate what is happening.
