Manually by the pilot, the real question would be at what point in the landing do most disconnect the auto-pilot and take over. I will defer to some of our heavy metal drivers here for those answers.
I have a friend that flies for Jazz, last year he ended up flying me back from Saskatoon. I asked him this very question and he said he took over before turning for final over Airdrie.
