oh come on...if you are in a wx condition (other than low visibility autoland or similiar), you better damn well be able to hand fly...even an autoland may require you to manually go around or take HAND action of some sort.

I've hand flown to minimums on approaches...I've hand flown in turbulence, I've hand flown at max authorized altitude (remember when that was called ''service ceiling"?) and I wouldn't be worthy of the name PILOT unless I could do it.

what the freaking thing is wrong now a days.
