skol, I hope you're not the one Oz that's about to fly me to HNL in a few hours time... if you can't land your airplane with eyeballs, one hand on the stick (or wheel) and the other on the throttles, you should not be flying anything. I was always able to land what I flew by manual method, and I'm flying (or have flown in some instances) the whole gamut: from gliders via turboprops to the ol' 744 freighter. Many thousands of hours.
Now whether your outfits SOPs allow you to do so is an entirely different story and knowing that neither ILS nor any visual guidance was available at SFO for your ETA means your airmanship is stuffed at the preflight level (check a NOTAM recently?), not just the airmanship level!
If any of this played any factor we're all in trouble!
