Flying a 172 with Autopilot?

Be careful of the yoke button...

Some aircraft are also equipped with a "CWS" (control wheel steering)
button, that suspends, but does non disconnect, the autopilot. When the CWS
button is released, the autopilot resumes control in it's previous modes.

These aircraft will also have an "autopilot disconnect" button, that
completely disengages the autopilot.

And make sure you know all the ways to turn it off/disable it.

Just to check myself, for the AP on the C-172S:

A) AP disc on the yoke.
B) I think if you push AP again on the unit... but I would have to
doublecheck that one.
C) Pull out AP breaker.
D) The Avionics bus master that it is on (Of course, I forget which
one) for those with a split avionics master.
E) Master switch.

Did I get all of them?
