The Cessna instructors are probably showing that the servos
can be over-powered with pilot muscle, no reason to lose
control. But I'm sure they also teach the location of CWS,
the trim switch, the red disconnect button and the A/P CB
and avionics master.

There's no CWS on the KAP140 install in the NAV3 equipped Cessna line.
Probably on the Mustang when it comes out, but not the SEPs.

It's been a few years so things might be different now, but IIRC, the
class doesn't teach leaving things in NAV mode to fly procedure turns,
but teaches doing a partial-panel approach by selecting wing-level and
flying it that way. Personally with a working aircraft I always fly a
procedure turn w/ autopilot by changing it to HDG mode, flying the
procedure turn with the bug, and then re-arm APR on the inbound
intercept.
