Ouch.

My old Skylane has a KAP-150.

"Easily" over power the yoke/trim with the AP on? No.

I have a nice big red circuit breaker handle on the trim breaker just
for this reason.

Pre-start includes saying out-loud: "Run-away trim, pull red breaker."

Fly an approach while overpowering the AP?

Who are these Cessna instructors?

They might want to RTFM, that's what CWS is for.
