Thank you for great advices. Kindly clarify, are FAA rules allow use autopilot during Instrument Rating check ride or not ? Or student can use autopilot for just some phases of flight that ilisted in rules ?
You have to demonstrate competency in use of the autopilot, IF you have an operable one in the airplane. That means at least one approach using the autopilot, and anything more the DPE wants you to demonstrate (this depends heavily on the DPE's preferences). One Cirrus-flying friend of mine was asked to do 2 approaches with the autopilot on, and one hand-flying. Seth Lake discusses this topic in his videos, as he is a DPE his opinion will be right on point.
Wow what a great video thank you so much for posting. Could you make a video for sim flight for private pilots

I haven't done my commercial yet, and am not sure if I have the drive to do it... though if I do, I'll definitely do a video.
