Autopilot/Flight Director Procedures - Beechcraft Baron G58 Pilot Operating Handbook

Section 4
Normal Procedures
The pilot must use proper autopilot modes and proper engine
power settings to ensure that airplane speed is maintained
between 90 KTS and 210 KTS. Operation in the pitch (PIT) or
vertical speed (VS) modes below 90 KTS can result in a stall. If
an inadvertent stall is encountered as indicated by the stall
warning horn, airframe buffeting, or loss of control effective-
ness, disconnect the autopilot using the AP DISC switch and
manually return the airplane to stabilized flight prior to re-
engaging the autopilot.
