Textron Aviation today revealed that the Beechcraft Denali's certification and entry into service will be further delayed and are now scheduled for 2025, following the planned certification of the aircraft’s GE Catalyst engine in late 2024. The Wichita airframer also announced that it has selected Garmin’s emergency Autoland as a standard feature for the $6.450 million turboprop single.

“Autoland is a great addition based on customer feedback,” said Textron Aviation senior v-p, global sales and flight operations Lannie O’Bannion. “We’re adding peace of mind to the Garmin G3000 cockpit with Autoland.”
