C4,
The 109E we operated here in the US was a single pilot IFR machine. The limitations section of the autopilot supplement in the RFM identified the Vmin for go around engagement as 120KIAS. This limitation was identified for all autopilots with serial number below a specific number. Ours was one of those. Engagement below that number resulted in some rather significant pitch attitude excursions.
