Simsam,
QNH is set on the AAI KAP 140 autopilot, as well as under the pfd altitude by crs outer knob and on the standby altimeter.. set these
Altitude is set on the KAP140 and on the PFD altitude bug with the range knob . Set these in tandem again!
right/left hand doesnt really matter with manipulating- just remember aviate, navigate, communicate- if your gonna have a look around the various systems set qnhs etc keep one hand on the controls (if off autopilot) and the other doing that..
flight plan- enter on MFD and then once done- u can leave it on PFD so MFD can display moving map..
172 is CAT A in IFR performance wise.. flaps usually come down 500' above the mda/dh or whenever practical and flaps 10 if your circling.. thats how we did it anyways!
