The HondaJet Elite II has received FAA certification for its Emergency Autoland (EAL) system.
It is the first production model twin-turbine very light business jet to be certified with Emergency Autoland technology.
EAL enables the aircraft to land autonomously in emergency situations, activated either by a button or an automatic system sensing an unresponsive pilot.
Honda Aircraft is pursuing international certifications to make EAL available to customers in other markets.
