Default New to group, taking a quick survey...

All you private pilots, what kind of autopilot do you use? Thanks.


Looks like there are a lot of heros in this group.

I fly a lot of single pilot IFR in the northeast US and my Bonanza is
equipped with an S-TEC 60-2 with altitude hold. I use it often for
straight and level cruise, but then again I am flying at least three times
a week for commuting and charity.

Once in a great while I will use it to fly an instrument approach, but that
is perhaps one out of every thirty approaches or so and only to practice
the correct button sequencing.

The Bonanza has a lot of wiggle in turbulence and I am considering adding a
yaw damper, which would theoretically provide more comfort for passengers.
