Maybe for a total beginner this could be done gradually. Would you agree? I'm assuming, as someone who knows very little about flying, other than a lot of flying is automated for the most part, that a total beginner would be overwhelmed.

Fully agree, though I think they're trying to figure out just how much if any do you learn. I think the best way for anyone to learn might just be to go to a flight school. Your fly hours is what matters more than anything because if shows you are capable.
- pc86 3y agoWhile most small planes have some form of autopilot, few have the Flight Director-driven "set it and forget it" type of autopilot most people imagine in their heads. A lot of older planes will just have a 1- or 2-axis autopilot which eliminates some of the workload for a pilot but you're still flying largely manually and making sure the autopilot doesn't kill you by.
