Are you kidding? The autopilot is a go/no-go item.

Study my Garmin 530 manual and learn three more things it does. Or do a
VOR
cross check. Or total up the columns in my log book. Or trim
fingernails,
finish the crossword puzzle. If it is a real cross country you have
plenty
of dead time.

You are either a super pilot or have a autopilot.
