I'm no pilot, but how well do auto-pilots handle storms for planes? Or does the Captain manually take over control in such a case?

- artmageddon 15y agoYes. Disconnecting autopilot is among the first few items a pilot does in that situation. From the AOPA Guide to In-Flight Emergencies: http://www.aopa.org/pilot/features/inflight9905.html http://www.aopa.org/pilot/features/inflight9905.html Otherwise, the plane will fight against the storm in ways that are detrimental to the flight.
