Would the autopilot let the airspeed increase / decrease to max and min air speeds configured?

Hello

I have set the min and max airspeeds when I configured the Skyview system.

If I fly on A/P (simplified controls) and set the vertical climb speed at its maximum, would the autopilot actually let the aircraft decelerate to the min airspeed set (30% of VS1?) assuming I don't change the power setting and I come out of level flight. I assume it does.

But more importantly! If I set max descent speed would the A/P indeed allow the aircrafts' airspeed to increase up to 95% of Vne (the setting for max speed) e.g. past the manoeuvring speed? Or would it settle at a more sensible speed? And what would that be?

Hope this question makes sense?

Thanks!

Rocky
