I'm not sure where logging autolands comes into it (other than it was about the only thing that we did/ do on the line that we have to log for the XAA.
My point was that it was something that the CAA required us to do and record to keep our autoland proficiency up, and my suggestion is that this idea could be applied to manually flown approaches.

I'm simply not sure you can set a target/monthly/three monthly requirement to log certain types of handling exercises and approaches on the aircraft
Well it worked OK for autolands, and we've got to do something. My suggestion might just start the ball rolling and get us all thinking towards the mindset of flying manually - especially if it were a requirement of the XAA. This should not cost anything to do either, and whatever we do has to be accepted by the airlines as well as the pilots. So ideally it needs to be easy and cost free.
