Ah, the ATC810... if you can conquer that beast, my hat's off to you!

But Laxrox is right... no AP for the interview. Some AP in the sim, but mostly a lot of hand flying. Just learn to tuck it into the FD, and you'll be alright. If you're in the CRJ, have good FMA awareness- not sure about the ERJ though. Basically you become the autopilot at that point. Ok, that sounds stupid, but you'll see. Takes about half a session to get used to it.

The checkride is a little different though. On my type ride we did one AP coupled Precision, one AP coupled non-Precision, one hand flown single engine Precision , one hand flown single engine non-Precision, and one AP coupled Precision down to circling mins transitioning to a hand flown cirlce to land. The rest was 50/50 AP to hand flying. Some mixed missed approaches.... always fun single engine!!

Anyway...

Good luck!!

Which airline are you interviewing with?
