Default When do you use autopilots?

Working 14 days a month? Yes. But there is very little of it. Not even on six
month rides.

In lighter aiccraft there is lots of hand flying, all but the enroute phase. I
know people still flying large jets whose autopilot is so poor, they do the
terminal maneuvering and approach by hand, no choice. And in some crummy
locations (mountainous). And only having one simple one, autoland is out.

Do you sit there at your sim, droning along for 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 hours enroute,
handflying? What aircraft/route are you asking about?


The post you are responding to is from a person who is a simulator game pilot,
only. He is a troll, and nothing he posts has any relevance to real aviation.
Please ignore his posts, and talk to real pilots.
