Hi Jeff, > ." . . that hand flying it placed more stress on the pilot which could magnify complications and it would put too much stress on the airplane . . ."
Light chop, no problem leave it on. My comments apply more to strong turbulence. "Bad weather" with light turbulence is fine. It's the turbulence part I'm referring to in suggesting one turn the autopilot off. If the instructor was suggesting you leave the autopilot on in moderate to severe turbulence, he isn't a very good instructor. This point is really basic. I doubt you'd find many bad-weather pilots agreeing with that instructor.
