Landing An Airplane With An Incapacitated Pilot

Garmin’s new Autoland system can safely operate an airplane, doing everything from flyiing at cruising altitude to finding a suitable runway, landing perfectly, applying brakes, and then stopping the engine.

The system is available for aircraft manufacturers to incorporate in their airplanes equipped with Garmin G3000 avionics and autothrottle. Piper is working on certifying Autoland in the M600, and Cirrus Aircraft will follow with Autoland in its Vision Jet.
