What could be more simpler for the average pilot than an all engines manual GA? No chance of an aileron hard-over there. After all, a one engine inoperative GA is flown manually so what's all the sweat about a two engine manual GA? You don't need a flight director for either. Unless of course one is the victim of automation addiction.
In your outfit, how often do you have to fly a 2 engine Go-Around? I've done 1 in the last three years. It's hardly a frequently practised manouveure so it would be pretty sensible to 'refresh yourself' with maximum use of automation. Unless your career is pinned up entirely on showing off, flying something manually doesn't always make you a better pilot does it?
