Garmin® introduces Emergency Autoland, a groundbreaking safety system that offers a new level of protection for passengers on Cessna Citation® Gen3™ jets. The system promises to take control in the event of a pilot failure and ensure a safe landing.
Innovation for more safety in the air
The new Garmin® Autoland system is designed to increase passenger confidence by providing an additional layer of safety during flight. In the event of an unforeseen event, the system promises to bring the aircraft safely to the ground. This technology is a significant step towards automated aircraft safety.
Automated activation and control
Garmin® has programmed Emergency Autoland to automatically activate when the pilot is inactive. This means that the pilot’s ability to react is continuously monitored. It is also possible to activate the system manually at the push of a button. Once activated, the system stabilizes the aircraft, determines location and assesses weather and terrain data while communicating with air traffic control.
Navigated safety for passengers
Throughout the entire process, the Autoland system is intended to inform passengers about the process and prepare them for a possible landing. Every necessary step that a pilot would take to land safely is carried out automatically by this system. A particular focus is on landing at the most suitable airport within reach.
Safe landing and shutdown
After a safe landing on the ground, the Autoland system takes over the task of bringing the aircraft to a stop and switching off the engines. So it not only offers protection in the air, but also ensures a safe arrival on the ground. This represents a new generation of safety technology available on Citation® Gen3™ jets.
Garmin® is committed to developing the most advanced technologies to provide increasingly efficient and safer travel solutions. With Emergency Autoland, Garmin® introduces revolutionary technology that brings groundbreaking safety precautions to the broader airline community.
Garmin® Emergency Autoland is available on these Cessna Citation® Gen3™ jets:
