Garmin Autoland Certified on TBM 940
Garmin announced European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certi- fication of Autoland in the Daher TBM 940. The Garmin Autoland system is available as part of the G3000 inte- grated flight deck and is capable of taking control and landing the air- craft without human intervention in the event the pilot is unable to fly.
In the event of an emergency, the pilot or passengers on board the air- craft can activate Autoland to land the aircraft with a simple press of a dedicated button. Autoland can also activate automatically if the system determines it’s necessary. Once activated, the system calculates a flight plan to the most suitable airport, while avoiding terrain and adverse
weather, initiates an approach to the runway and automatically lands the aircraft – without pilot or passenger intervention. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/aviation.
