Emergency Autoland is the latest layer of embedded automation in Garmin’s Autonomi family of flight technologies for the G3000 integrated avionics suite. Coupled with an autothrottle, the autopilot’s Emergency Descent Mode and Electronic Stability and Protection, the system ultimately puts the aircraft back on the runway when the pilot can’t. With final FAA certification pending, Autoland is expected to be included in the production type certificates for the 2020 Piper M600 turboprop single and the Cirrus Vision Jet. AVweb contributor and Aviation Consumer magazine Editor-in-Chief Larry Anglisano flew with Garmin’s full Autonomi system in both aircraft and prepared this field report.
