Hello vilas,
That's good news as far as it goes. But if hand flying raw-data - with and without FPV, and with and without A/THR - is limited to your
first jet conversion - which is a very intensive experience, covering a bewilderingly wide sylabus of unfamiliar exercises and new technical concepts - the learning curve you climbed during those six sessions will fade away unless your airline sanctions the disengagement of different combinations of automatics at suitable times during revenue flights. Frankly, simulator time is now so expensive that it would be unrealistic to expect airlines to schedule it during recurrents - unless it was combined with other failure exercises.
During the first few years as a copilot you slowly adapt to the demands of the routine chores, and much of what was covered in the conversion is gradually forgotten. That is particularly unfortunate if you happen to be on long-haul, and lucky to get your one landing a month. Six-monthly checks are formalised, and the areas to be covered in the next programme are promulgated in advance for study and discussion. Apart from the mandatory items, such as rejected T/O and EFTO, the exercises tend to revolve around the complexities of systems failures. In the LOFT exercises, use of automatics during problem-solving tends (rightly) to be emphasised. There is little or no "fat" in the simulator schedule to permit ad-hoc flying practice for youngsters (or the oldies).
In line operations, the selective withdrawal of automatics I'm advocating is done at the captain's discretion, and with prior agreement. It should not be done at times when PNF workload is already high, which of course is more likely when one of the pilots is relatively inexperienced. It would not be programmed, formalised, or recorded; just regarded as a routine interlude of enjoyable self-development for the PF.
My perception is that the above is frowned upon in many airlines.
PS
What the
is "ELT MCC"? Too much jargon, vilas! Jargon is what professionals use when they are trying to withhold understanding from lay people, and impress newbees...
