Double Bogey - if you had taken the trouble to read my previous posts instead of jumping to your own pre-formed conclusions you would see that I have never actually advocated manual flying as a replacement for automation, merely that it would seem to be a 'dying art' constrained as you undoubtably are by costs. I think pilots benefit from continuation training. Taking off, navigating and landing are enough to retain manual skills? Are you serious? As for mil weather limits, I'm guessing you were never on RAF Seakings, unless your fog is thicker than our fog, or snow or windspeed!
