Garmin Autoland King Air 200

Garmin has secured EASA certification for its Autoland and autothrottle systems for retrofit installation in select 200-series Beechcraft King Airs. The approval marks the first time these autonomous safety systems have been cleared for retrofit in twin-engine aircraft within the European market.

Designed for emergency situations when pilots are incapacitated, with the push of a button Autoland can autonomously control and land an aircraft without human intervention. The system evaluates multiple variables to select the most suitable airport and runway, including weather conditions, fuel reserves, runway characteristics, terrain obstacles, and other factors.
