ILS Autopilot Coupled Approaches – Not Authorized / Not Authorized Below Altitude

Autopilot coupled approaches may contain restrictions due to an excessive rate of change or reversals in the slope of the glidepath. For ILS approaches that contain these restrictions, observations from ASIAS show that some flights keep the autopilot system engaged below the authorized altitude or engaged during a large portion of the final approach where autopilot is not authorized.
