The kit
For the past eight years, Garmin has been developing an incredibly important piece of technology to support its all-pervasive avionics offerings, an autoland function designed to “save” an incapacitated pilot or allow a safe return to base should a pilot be caught out by unexpected weather. It’s called ‘Autonomi Emergency Autoland’.
Autoland “will control and land the aircraft without human intervention”, Garmin said. “The Autoland system determines the most optimal airport and runway, taking into account factors such as weather, terrain, obstacles and aircraft performance statistics.”
