Most of our 737 cat 1 approaches were hand flown because we didn't trust the auto systems. One MD80 approach the auto systems all failed at 300 ft with a 200 ft DH. I leveled the wings, reintercepted the approach and set approach power and broke out at minimums. It wasn't hard to salvage the approach if you could hand fly. I am an average pilot so all of my pilot friends could have done the same thing. I worry about what automation is doing to the new guys.
