Natstrackalpha, flying is a perishable skill. Doesn't matter if you can fly or not when you start flying a 320, fly it for 5 years on the automatics and whatever skills you think you have are gone. I see it all the time in the sim, turn off the flight directors and pilots don't even know where to look anymore. Heck a couple months ago our augment wanted to know why on earth I was playing with the rudder trim during the climb out ...

Go ahead and try it. Through 10 000' turn off autothrust, autopilot, flight director. Fly the STAR. Let us know how it works out.
