the SR series?

I cannot say what is typical but in my case (a Bonanza V35 owner who flies
a lot of single-pilot IFR), I always hand-fly at least the departure up
through cruise and the initial and final instrument approach of every
flight when in IMC to retain proficiency. Most times I let the AP handle
the straight and level flight, which allows me to prepare for the approach.
