I have yet to see an aircraft in which it worked right at all. I am not a real pilot, but I spent enough time learning to know how to use the AP systems. I even double checked with ChatGPT. And as far as I can tell the NAV never works, the VNAV will work on some aircraft. The sub systems such as FLC, and VS will work on a lot of aircraft, and on some other aircraft they only partly work (FLC won’t keep the proper altitude selected, and nothing will make it). And lastly is the APP approach system, which is supposed to pick up on the locator and follow the proper glide path into landing. I have seen it work 2 times, once in a Cessna 172, and once in a Boeing 737. Trying to get them to do it again though, I have yet to see it happen. It might be set to a very few airports or something. Regardless, how can one really have a career if they cannot use the proper systems of the aircraft? And don’t get me started on helicopters…
