As an aside, I was told of an engine failure in a well known Far East airline which was handled adequately and returned. Upon analysis, it was realised that the PF hand flew the whole thing, despite a perfectly good autopilot.

The reason given upon questioning this was that every sim check was a manually flown EO. When the real thing happened the PF did what he was repeatedly trained and in the stress of the moment didn't engage the AP as it was unfamiliar in a time of 'need'.
