If using an autopilot to track the approach, the automation performs the control inputs and allows the pilot to complete ... pilot loads the instrument approach and decides to remain on autopilot. However, after the aircraft passes the initial approach fix, ATC cancels the approach clearance. ATC provides vectors and tells the pilot to expect to hold. In this situation…
