+ most airlines disapprove of pilots taking the auto pilot out at altitude (cruise) for 2 reasons. 1) RVSM req auto pilot 2) they worry about a level bust.
Unfortunately if you feel you need the practise at height so you have a go. The snitch box flags it (QAR) expect a phone call.
Please note I'm talking about upper air skills.
