My understanding is that there is a report on the report on ap's
in the works. The level of saftey is not being continued if you jump off a 747 from LAX then fly to Gissy. Surley STAR ALLIANCE don't know about this or they would hit the roof.
The AP was an option prior to production, much like air con in your car, this option was not taken and therefore no plumbing or left over bits of any sort (with reguards to the AP) are in the Beech.
Cpt Bloogs, I see your point you get enough hands on flying at certain times.
You don't really want to b doing an approach to minimas after hand flying an hour long sector.
Good comments so far, its good to see that this thred hasn't become a slagging match for a change.
Are there any older school pilots (not that your old : ) ) out there who may have started their careers in machines which didn't have AP's and now use them on a regular basis, who have thoughts on AP use.

P.s the bogg gets used, just depends on the sector length and how long they where in the Koru lounge for prior to boarding
