Do you prefer the AP on or off on a windy gusty day?

because the AP will make the ride a fun one with the gusts and corrections, I will turn it off if helps the crew not get sick. Otherwise I just leave it on. Just no upper modes engaged. You want to keep you attitude retention In case you hit a bird.

Well because you said you don't suc as I bet you do. You need to be flying 90% AP. That way you won't suc as when you go flying into the clouds because you don't know how to use the AP correctly.

Use Vertical speed mode and set it to zero. It will just ride the waves instead of trying to fight to hold an Altitude. Much smoother on bumpy days this way.
