As
As my name suggests I enjoy my job the most when I'm flying the airplane. This means no AP no AT and most importantly no FD (or FPV).
I try and do all departures, arrivals and approaches using raw data.
Of course I consider external (and internal) factors when I decide to practice my manual flying, ie, i will use the FD in gusty or turbulent approaches or when tired, use of AP with WX or situations that may require a GA, and use of AP when in noise sensitive destinations as examples.
In my opinion, since I have started flying manually on a daily basis my SA, spare capacity and overall performance have improved dramatically.
All that is said above is with regards to myself, and I'm not trying to teach or preach to anyone else.
I know there are many different Captains and FOs out there, and would encourage them to do what they think is in the best interest of their passengers.
