That’ll be quite dependent on where you fly. You do autolands quite often. At my base, it’s rare enough to actually NEED an instrument approach, let alone an autoland. The last time I did an instrument approach at my base was 4.5 years ago.
Much more likely to be given a funny vector or have to dodge some weather, so need to disconnect the automatics and do some of that pilot stuff.
