ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Once a flight was completed and the CJ4 is shut off back into cold and dark status the autopilot won’t reengage again. After the next take off the autopilot is programmed and activated just like always but it does not follow NAV nor HDG does not follow FLC or anything it just does nothing. In fact if you turn the autopilot back off you can hear the audio “AUTOPILOT” and the green AP sign disappears, so the autopilot was active. If activating again still no reaction of the AP. Only way to get around this is to end the flight and start a new one - which is no real experience if you want to accomplish multiple flights in a row
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- start a flight and finish by parking at the destination airport
- shut down the engines, electronics, avionics, etc. following the checklists to get back into a cold & dark state
- initiate the next flight by starting the checklists from zero again and turning everything on so you get the avionics into DISPATCH mode to program the next flight
- program the autopilot, fmc, vnav as required
- follow the checklists to start up the engines and get the plane to the active runway
- prepare for take off and take off
- when airborne passing 400ft AGL activate the AP (NAV, FLC, VNAV)
