(ii) An altitude no lower than 50 feet
higher than the altitude loss specified
in the AFM, when the following conditions are met - 
(A) Reported weather conditions are
less than the basic VFR weather conditions in Section 91.155 of this chapter;
(B) Suitable visual references specified in Section 91.175 of this chapter have been
established on the instrument approach procedure; and
(C) The autopilot is coupled and receiving both lateral and vertical path
references;
(iii) An altitude no lower than the
higher of the altitude loss specified in
the AFM or 50 feet above the TDZE,
when the following conditions are
met - 
(A) Reported weather conditions are
equal to or better than the basic VFR
weather conditions in Section 91.155 of this
chapter; and
(B) The autopilot is coupled and receiving both lateral and vertical path
references; or
(iv) A greater altitude specified by
the Administrator.
(2) For autopilots with AFM specified

greater of - 
(i) The minimum use altitude specified for the coupled approach mode selected;
(ii) 50 feet; or
(iii) An altitude specified by Administrator.
(3) For autopilots with an AFM specified negligible or zero altitude loss for

(4) If executing an autopilot coupled
go-around or missed approach using a
certificated and functioning autopilot

this section.
(e) Go-Around/Missed Approach. No
person may engage an autopilot during
a go-around or missed approach below
the minimum engagement altitude
specified for takeoff and initial climb
in paragraph (b) in this section. An
autopilot minimum use altitude does
not apply to a go-around/missed approach initiated with an engaged autopilot. Performing a go-around or

missed approach with an engaged autopilot must not adversely affect safe obstacle clearance.
(f) Landing. Notwithstanding paragraph (d) of this section, autopilot minimum use altitudes do not apply to
autopilot operations when an approved
automatic landing system mode is
being used for landing. Automatic
landing systems must be authorized in
an operations specification issued to
the operator.
(g) This section does not apply to operations conducted in rotorcraft.
