That stikes me as an interesting comment, coming from a 172 owner
unable to afford to have George do the flying. Would people say that's
typical of Mooney 201/Bonanza and other planes of a similar class to
the SR series?

Well, I don't have an auto-pilot in my ancient Bonanza. I manage to do
IFR without any problems. I must confess I rarely do any exceeding long
legs IFR, though. 2 to 3 hours at the most.
