Title: Describe limits on autopilot usage.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Exploring Regulations

Description should include the following:

- The FAA considers a pilot’s use and management of the autopilot to be the equivalent of manipulating the controls, just as one manages other flight control systems, such as trim or a yaw dampener.
- The autopilot system’s sophistication does not affect a pilot's responsibility to manipulate and manage all control systems, including an autopilot.
