Working 14 days a month? Yes. But there is very little of it. Not even
on six month rides.

In lighter aiccraft there is lots of hand flying, all but the enroute
phase. I know people still flying large jets whose autopilot is so poor,
they do the terminal maneuvering and approach by hand, no choice. And in
some crummy locations (mountainous). And only having one simple one,
autoland is out.

Do you sit there at your sim, droning along for 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 hours
enroute, handflying? What aircraft/route are you asking about?

Use it if you got it.

Save your energy for when things go wrong.


Seems logical, but do you worry about getting out of practice in hand
flying?
