How to unlock the Look Ma, No Hands! achievement in Microsoft Flight Simulator - Definitive Guide

Update 9 has supposedly fixed this achievement, but over the past year or two this may have become a bit more glitchy.

You need to use an aircraft with Autopilot and toggle it on using Z on a keyboard or cn_Y on an Xbox controller. Using the AI Pilot (in cursor mode or otherwise) will not count towards this achievement.

For quickest results, several users recommend using the F-18 Hornet, as it might be the only plane currently counting toward the achievement. I used the Citation CJ4 at the time. Either way, start at a random point on the map so you don't have to worry about taking off and ascent and give yourself a destination over 600NM away. Activate autopilot and doublecheck in cockpit view (on the Citation it's the AP button towards the right side of the top panel below the window), and check back in about an hour.

I found that using Sim Rate will cause progress not to count towards the achievement.

There’s still a bug in that doing this on a Load Game DOES NOT count.

Tracked right up to 92% and stuck there. Just stopped making progress during the same flight, nothing else changed. Cool.

I think this achievement is broken at the moment. As far as I can tell, no one is making any progress towards this. Tracker is stuck at 0%.

Same for me. Seems the November (?) Update broke it

The tracker is stuck at 1% for me for some reason. Started this game on August 15.

Very frustrating. I guess it wouldn't be MFS without an update fixing one thing and breaking 3 other things

Just confirming this achievement is still broken as of the newest update currently in beta. (I think its Update 12?) Assuming this doesn't change when the update is fully released, this achievement will remain broken for at least another month/two months until the next update.

I downloaded the beta update, Sim Update 8, not World Update which has nothing to do with the core game functions, achievement still seems to be broken. They fixed other bugs affecting some achievements, but having the plane on auto pilot right now with he tracker up, it's not showing any progress counting towards it. Update goes live Feb. 28th, 2022.

Mine has been stuck at 77% for the past yr, and I fly majority of the time the a320. Many miles and hrs I put on my profile but this achievement is broken.

Current beta version makes this obtainable!
Got it accidentally whilst trying for the "My Way" achievement

Yup, subscribed to the insider program, downloaded an update and now this achievement is tracking again (they also mentioned it in the release notes)

The update did make me lose my Bush Trip progress, 4 landing challenges I did earlier today before the update. And also some registered unique landings were gone.

@Remco1986, is there any idea when this update is for the public? I play the game right now through Cloud Gaming (Console version).

Oke, I see from an earlier comment, there was 3 days, but unclear how long that beta version was already available. But good it is now fixed there.

Just an FYI, the F18 has auto pilot, and with max speed can hit 700 knots.

Not tracking for me. Stuck at 14% on July 14th 2022 and I've done thousands of hours of auto-pilot flying.

I've tried several modern planes with autopilot to no avail. Switched to the F-18 Hornet and it worked like a charm.
