Question

What is an auto-coupled approach?

Answer 1

Autopilot flies the approach.

Answer 2

In aviation-speak, a "coupled approach" is one that utilizes the aircraft's autopilot to navigate the aircraft in the approach phase right down to the approach minimums, and, in some cases, on to the runway itself.

Answer 3

On an coupled approach, you would let the autopilot fly the aircraft both laterally and vertically with no intervantion needed by the pilots.
