I bet George wouldn't like that (George is our autopilot).

It's hardly useful practice to fly under the hood with the a/p on. sheesh.

sheesh.

Ok, why?

I use the AP when flying IAPs for real; why shouldn't I practice with it?

well, I meant it as an evil way to torture someone under the hood.
Of course we should train as we fly and fly as we train. And of
course we don't only practice under the hood with the a/p on
(assuming we are discussing small aircraft where hand-flying
would be considered normal)

Is that clearer?

I thought the suggestion of doing my partial panel approach on the
checkride with the autopilot was cheating too, but the examiner
suggested it.

On the checkride, the examiner can suggest just about anything,
if you know what I mean. ;-)
