Pepperseed.

Hands on the controls 'monitoring' the actions of the AP or hands on the controls flying the aircraft. One or the other!
When the Turkish was no. 1, I was no. 3. (a Transavia was no.2). I was hand-flying my aircraft- mainly because I thought we might get a bit of wake but also through preference.



What,s wrong with having the hands on the controls while the AP is still engaged - particularly at the last stage of the approach ? How does that contradict the scanning ?
Ever heard about trim runaway ?
