Why? I've only recently put an autopilot in my plane, and it is jsut a single axis one at that. Before installing it, I've never flown IFR WITH and autopilot equipped plane (I have ~1100 hrs in 'the system'). Autopilot is nice for flipping maps, taking clearances etc, but I don't consider it mandatory. Even now, I hand fly most of the time. The autopilot mostly gets used only when attending to other chores. For flying in the Northeast, I think having a strikefinder or equiv spherics detector is a much higher priority than having an autopilot. I agree. My Skylane had a Strikefinder, but no AP. I seldom even wished for an AP. I'd have much rather had a moving map GPS. Matt
