Hand flying in turbulent IMC while fishing for an approach chart or
even briefing and setting-up and approach can be, well, demanding.
"Demanding" in IMC is equivalent with increased risk.

It's true that in turbulence, it becomes almost like driving a car in terms
of the need for paying second-to-second attention. Setting up for an
approach has to be done in a series of very brief diversions of attention.
But I find that with plenty of recent practice, the required procedures are
comfortably within my capabilities. I use my PC flight simulator to maintain
proficiency in conditions that are much more turbulent than I'd fly in for
real.
