The video show an impressive amount of control-waggling (to use the technical term) on the approach to the deck. Humour me, for I am no pilot - but is the pilot monitoring the approach, letting the computer(s) do their thing until touchdown? How much stick-input is involved? If the normal approach phase is largely automated, presumably the aircrew practice manually-controlled approaches to cater for possible control-degradation scenarios?
