Ah. Yes, modern autopilots and FBW* are so good that one sometimes gets a nasty surprise on disconnecting to land!

So I prefer to disconnect early on those challenging days to experience how much the wind is throwing us about and to give my manual responses time to calibrate to the conditions before we land



(* Airbus, I don't know about Boeings - I am sure they are just as good)
