Can't quite get why hotbreak and others are getting so excited about doing a "manual raw data ILS 35knts, ninety degrees cross on the right seat auto trust off". Having been on the 777 for an awful long time the excitement in saying the above - is just that: in saying it. Most modern airlines have that rather nice bit of information called TRACK and when on the localiser and TRACKING the inbound course then who gives a rats ass what the wind is! Now if the so called "checker " in the back wants to fool around with the wind from right xwind to left to right then that can be a challenge - but that is just being foolish.
Thing is most airlines want you to use automation to its fullest extent. Come interview time one then has to show how good you are with no automation!!
Something wrong here I think.
