That sounds right for the 172S's KAP140. Another thing that I do, is to make
sure that the autopilot is a part of my preflight. You especially want to
ensure that you can overpower the autopilot while you're still on the
ground.

And make sure you know all the ways to turn it off/disable it.

Just to check myself, for the AP on the C-172S:

A) AP disc on the yoke.
B) I think if you push AP again on the unit... but I would have to
doublecheck that one.
C) Pull out AP breaker.
D) The Avionics bus master that it is on (Of course, I forget which
one) for those with a split avionics master.
E) Master switch.

Did I get all of them?
