I got my IFR rating 7 months ago. I use the KAP140 autopilot a lot. From
climb-out to MDA/DA. I find it really helps in my management of the plane
and the IFR flight. I am interested in comments regarding the pros and cons
of a heavy use/reliance on the autopilot.


With a panel mount IFR GPS, you can easily fail to do a traffic watch or
perhaps properly control the airplane when not using an autopilot.
