How often do you guys use the Auto Pilot in your flights?

I mostly fly the GA planes as VFR, and whether I use the autopilot (if available) depends mostly on whether I’m poking around below 3000’ AGL doing sightseeing and just have to avoid the ground, obstacles, and other planes by sight, or if I’m cruising to cover distance – in which case I’m probably going above 3000’ AGL and am supposed to stick to specific VFR cruise altitudes to provide vertical separation from IFR traffic.

Pretty much this. Sometimes I’ll go low-level sightseeing, and AP is pretty irrelevant. Otherwise I like the freedom it gives me.
