Glossary
intermediate altitude in advance when flying a high performance aircraft, you can plan the power or thrust settings and aircraft configurations that result in the most efficient descent, in terms of time, fuel requirements, and engine wear. Visual Approach…

aircraft at any airport below the authorized MDA or continue an approach below the authorized DA/DH unless: 1. The aircraft is continuously in a position from which a descent to a landing on the intended runway can be made ... approach. When a MAP is initiated, a climb pitch attitude should be established while setting climb power. Configure the aircraft for climb, turn to the appropriate heading, advise ATC that a missed approach is being executed, and request further clearances…

Chapter 7: Automation & Flight Path Management › Balancing Automated & Manual Flight
Continuing the scenario above, the pilot loads the instrument approach and decides to remain on autopilot. However, after the aircraft passes the initial approach fix, ATC cancels the approach clearance. ATC provides vectors and tells the pilot to expect ... comply with the assignment from ATC. The lower level of automation allows the pilot to program and configure the aircraft for an unexpected change while keeping the flightpath and aircraft state under control. 12295 Pilots may sometimes choose to disengage…
