If you are talking about the thin autopilot panel with buttons for WL, HDG, 
NAV, APR, ALT, then no! This instrument used to be tied to the old hardcoded 
autopilot that was rewritten almost a year ago now. If you are talking about 
the autopilot GUI dialog available from the Autopilot menu, then no, 
again! :-( There is no explicit APR mode in the autopilot dialog, but you 
could activate the NAV1 CDI Course and the NAV1 Glideslope. Infortunetly  the 
NAV1 CDI Course mode does not seem to work.

The autopilot dialog is tied to the generic autopilot configuration that is 
available in all aircraft, unless they use a custom autopilot configuration. 
Since there are so many different aircraft in FligtGear it is close to 
impossible to design a generic autopilot that would work for all aircraft.

Please try the autopilot in the default Cessna, it should have a working apr 
mode. But you have to know how to use it. A link to the pilot's guide was 
posted on the user list very recently.
