Default AUTOPILOT PROS & CONS

I got my IFR rating 7 months ago. I use the KAP140 autopilot a lot. From
climb-out to MDA/DA. I find it really helps in my management of the plane
and the IFR flight. I am interested in comments regarding the pros and cons
of a heavy use/reliance on the autopilot.



I have always used an autopilot if it's available for cruise flight only. I
hand fly all climb outs and approaches. As a matter of fact, since nothing I
have access to these days has an autopilot, I hand fly the entire flight. G
