Are you complying with the RFM if you are flying with reference to the instruments below Vmini
The certification (Part29) requirements for Vmini centre around longitudinal stability and 'undue' pilot workload, and the wording implies they are primarily aimed at constant speed, or decelerative instrument approaches (see the AC29-2C). I don't think the intent was to address the accelerative phase of flight to Vmini which, in reality, is a matter of seconds.

Someone like John Dixon, Shawn Coyle etc can give a more definitive answer.
