The amount of a flight conducted on autopilot varies by the type of flight and airline procedures. Generally, modern commercial flights use autopilot for most of the journey, including takeoff (after initial climb) and landing phases, often handling around 80-90% of the flight. However, pilots are always in control and can manually override the system as needed. Factors like weather conditions and specific flight paths can influence the extent of autopilot use.
