TL;DR: "It's not"
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoWhich isn't an answer to the question. "The autopilot doesn't change its operational parameters to account for ejection." would be an answer, meaning it takes no account of it and continues as before. Saying "it's programmed to do nothing" is very different: meaning it would stop, meaning it would be taking notice of the ejection.
- rtkwe 8y agoThe real answer is more along the lines of 'if the pilot has ejected there's some serious issue with the plane and the autopilot has been disengaged in attempts to rectify the problem, either automatically in the case of a stall or spin or by the pilot giving inputs which would disengage the autopilot.' There's no instructions after that because the plane is assumed lost once the pilot ejects.
