Not sure if that was directed at myself or not.

There is no need (and no SOP) to disconnect AP lower modes after landing on the 92. ATT mode deselects automatically.

The 225 I believe even has a disc centring button on the cyclic for ground use, which would imply to me that the parallel actuators of the AP are still in play.

Not aware of SOP for the AW101.
