My comments regarding use of the autopilot DONOT refer to the legalities of use of it in a test or renewal. My comments refer to whether the ATO would be happy letting you use the autopilot. My initial issue was no autopilot for either enroute or approaches. He wanted to see me track via NDB/ADF and fly every approach. None of my renewals have I used the autopilot.
Nosewheel, on your initial issue plan on not using the autopilot on any of the approaches, he may allow enroute
