Does not make sense. Firstly the FMS is very good by every account so that sim FCLP can be conducted in 'failure' or good mode. What exactly is a 'manual' landing in your estimation? The aircraft is computer controlled. There is no flap handle - the flaps (for the cats - recall 'cats 'n flaps'?) are on auto as is the throttle. There is no manual IMHO. OMG even the F-35B has auto eject in STOVL mode.
