The autopilot will still always pitch for 750 fpm. The end result, if left uncorrected, is the sudden nose up pitch, zero airspeed and falling out of the sky tail first. In a GA let the pilot control the power, and let the autopilot take care of climb rate. For whatever reason doing it this way more often results in better pilot monitoring of the situation and less falling out of the sky tail first.
That makes perfect sense. Thanks!
