Elliott Aviation has delivered its first King Air B200 modified with the Garmin Autoland safety system.

Elliott Aviation has performed its first completion and delivery of the Garmin Autoland upgrade in a King Air B200. Designed as a safety measure, the Autoland system in an emergency situation can take control of an aircraft and autonomously land itself at the nearest suitable airport. 

According to Illinois-based Elliott, the modification—which took four weeks to install—represents the next chapter in the evolution of the Garmin G1000 NXI package for the King Air family. The Autoland installation in the King Air includes Garmin's autothrottle system. The Autoland technology program was launched in 2011 and received certification in 2020. Garmin was awarded the Collier Trophy for its achievement that same year.
