To many CAAs still want to see fast hands.
Or ....... have you ever been taught the 'engine failure circuit'?

When I went east I was told to leave everything, and throw it into a very tight 500' circuit and land. No checks, no shutdown. Invariably many pilots, who were not allowed to hand fly anyway, missed the final turn completely and landed on a taxiway or the apron.

I was horrified, but had to comply.
