The equipment I fly does not have an AT but it does have an AP which I can cancel out of in an instant with a handy disconnect switch on the yoke, right beneath my thumb. In addition to this switch I can also disconnect the AP by overpowering it with sufficient break out force on the yoke. Would it not be useful to have a similar capacity in respect to the AT, say based on PL position when manually commanding full power?
