The 'macho' must fly manual approach to fly properly really should be a thing of the past , good management of these highly efficient systems is a much better alternative to the poorly flown often uncomfortable manual approach & correctly flown will keep your scan as health as ever.
What a scary attitude! Automation is an excellent help but I'm never gonna be a slave to it! If you cannot fly a manual approach proficiently without calming to be macho you have no business calling yourself a professional pilot and definitely not an aviator!
