For my initial and subsequent proficiency checks I used the AP during SID, cruise, holds non-precision approach and when going missed, only flew manually for the airwork and 3D-approaches. The only exemption was when I had to use an old PA28 with an AP I did not trust. I preferred handflying on that one.
