Disconnecting the Autopilot

Hi folks,

Just wondering for all you jet folks out there when you are carrying out an approach when do you tend to switch off the autopilot, I have been on a couple of jumpseats and some guys take it right down to a couple of miles out before landing then turn it off just wonder do some of you folks like to fly the full approach with hands on or does it just depend if a) you can be bothered or b) if weather is bad etc????

Answers on a postcard

Look forward to hearing your replies.

ta very much!
