Default Autopilot use during approach

Anything you can legally fly by hand can also be flown by the autopilot, since
you remain in command and can take over at any time; using autopilot is like
using trim in that case.


Untrue. Autopilot installations are one of the more rigorously handled
aircraft modifications. There will certainly be LEGALLY BINDING
operating limitations that apply to the use of the autopilot.
There are quite good reasons for these restrictions by the way

The fact that you have never seen a legal AFM and it's supplements
is again demonstrating that you have no business telling real pilots
what is safe OR legal.
