B777 of really big ME airline departs from base on fine day. During climb the expat captain switches of the FD for visual climb currency and then several minutes later turns the FD back on. Perfectly safe, keeps his hand in at flying without a FD.

The "event" is recorded via the QAR data beamed back to base. Captain is up for tea and no bikkies for the heinous crime of turning the FD off.
