My apologies. I was talking about operations AFTER disconnecting the a/p.
Step 1 - fly the airplane.
If the airplane is not heading in the right direction and time or direction of flight is key and the automation isn't working as desired, or there's any automation confusion, the a/p is coming off. That's where my recycling the FD comments start.
