Speaking of which, that's the opposite challenge. Not becoming too reliant on the automation.
My check ride, earlier this month, involved a simulated flight from IAD to EWR. The "flight" started with one of the (two) autopilots inoperative. Not long after takeoff, the other autopilot failed, too. That left me hand-flying the rest of the "flight" which included complications such as a passenger's phone catching fire, holding, a go-around due to excessive crosswinds, and a charted visual approach to a relatively short runway.
If it's not one thing, it's another!
