Sounds more like an inconsistency with the ATO rather than CASA, CAO 40.2.1 says "An autopilot or a coupled approach may be used in the demonstration of proficiency in instrument approach procedures. However, the applicant shall also be required to demonstrate proficiency in instrument approach procedures without the use of the flight director and without the autopilot engaged in aircraft where this is permitted."
