Cirrus Aircraft has obtained U.S. FAA approval for the installation of the Garmin Autoland-based Safe Return system on the Vision Jet. This marks the first jet aircraft to receive the nod for the Garmin Autoland technology, which has previously been approved for turboprop models—the Piper M600 and Daher TBM 940.
