14 CFR Ch. I (1–1–24 Edition)
§ 125.331
(1) For autopilots with an AFM speci-
fied altitude loss for approach oper-
ations—
(i) An altitude no lower than twice
the specified altitude loss if higher
than 50 feet below the MDA or DA(H);
(ii) An altitude no lower than 50 feet
higher than the altitude loss specified
in the AFM, when the following condi-
tions are met—
(A) Reported weather conditions are
less than the basic VFR weather condi-
tions in § 91.155 of this chapter;
(B) Suitable visual references speci-
fied in § 91.175 of this chapter have been
established on the instrument ap-
proach procedure; and
(C) The autopilot is coupled and re-
ceiving 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 § 91.155 of this
chapter; and
(B) The autopilot is coupled and re-
ceiving both lateral and vertical path
references; or
(iv) A greater altitude specified by
the Administrator.
(2) For autopilots with AFM specified
approach altitude limitations, the
greater of—
(i) The minimum use altitude speci-
fied for the coupled approach mode se-
lected;
(ii) 50 feet; or
(iii) An altitude specified by Admin-
istrator.
(3) For autopilots with an AFM speci-
fied negligible or zero altitude loss for
an autopilot approach mode malfunc-
tion, the greater of—
(i) 50 feet; or
(ii) An altitude specified by Adminis-
trator.
(4) If executing an autopilot coupled
go-around or missed approach using a
certificated and functioning autopilot
in accordance with paragraph (e) in
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 ap-
proach initiated with an engaged auto-
pilot. Performing a go-around or
missed approach with an engaged auto-
pilot must not adversely affect safe ob-
stacle clearance.
(f)
Landing.
Notwithstanding para-
graph (d) of this section, autopilot min-
imum 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.
