The basic formula for cloud flying is not the AP, but know how to keep the blue and brown in their respective positions, navigate and maintain situational awareness, all whilst hand flying.I fully agree, but i think the use of an AP to get away with unintended flight in IMC is better than crashing. Especially the level button of the GFC 500 may save lives.
My experience is mainly the combination of GFC500 / GTN650 / G500 or G3X, in these combinations it’s relatively easy to set up an approach. I’ve trained such situations and will do so in the future from time to time.
