If the aircraft dispatches with the autopilot inop, then the regulations require the second pilot, and that particular SIC time would be loggable for all purposes, including qualifying for the ATP.

For somebody that works for AMF you really live in a bubble, which isn't a shock as you are 1 of only 6 happily employed management types out of the thousands that have gone through the doors there.

As for the autopilots, every type rated aircraft has one. Some work better than others. I don't know a percentage, but many BE99s have them as well. In fact, we were the company that loaned a BE99 to S-Tech so they could develop the STC to put their autopilots IN a BE99.
BTW, I think you meant caliber, not caliper.
