Garmin Emergency Autoland - Not a test

[goingnowherefast]

GA isn't commercial aviation. I already see it in some single piston aircraft flown by private pilots.

If a commercial operator is too cheap for an autopilot, they're certainly too cheap for this system.

Autoland will permeate all GA sectors, though.

It’s too good of an idea not to. CAPS comes with a performance penalty and becomes increasingly impractical with a larger aircraft which is why it’s pretty much limited to Cirrus and a few smaller planes.

Ill say this again. CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Parichute System) is only on Cirrus airplanes. Not "and a few smaller planes".

Until your pedantry I forgot BRS even existed.

He just needs to hoover up some knowledge, wipe away his tears with a Kleenex, sit down for a coffee from his thermos and stick a band aid on his owie and he'll be fine.

Maybe a nice soak in a Jacuzzi would relax him, but don't forget the ChapStick in the cold winter air, or you'll need to velcro on something to cover that chapped skin.
