EASA SIB 2013-05R1 highlights concerns about the degradation of manual flying skills due to excessive reliance on automation in modern aircraft operations. It encourages operators to incorporate manual flight practice into training and, where appropriate, line operations, using a risk-based approach that considers factors such as workload, weather, and airspace complexity. While not mandatory, the bulletin advises integrating manual flying opportunities into automation policies and monitoring their impact through Safety Management Systems and Flight Data Monitoring.
