Can't speak for commercial pilots since I'm not one (yet). However, I
don't use my AP. Of course, that's because it's broken right now...not
to mention the fact that as an instrument student, hand flying more than
letting George fly means I'll be able to keep the shiny side up and the
greasy side down when George goes on the fritz while I'm in solid IMC.
Oh, and it's only a single axis auto pilot so altitude is always up to me.
