Garmin pursues a supplemental type certificate for its emergency landing system on the twin turboprop

The avionics OEM also debuted its height advisor for experimental aircraft.

The retrofit kit for the emergency landing system is the first on a twin turboprop.

The single-engine turboprop still under development from Textron Aviation will come with the emergency protocol standard.

Flight testing continues on the autothrottle component, with that option expected to complete FAA certification in the next 30 days.

Safe Return gained ANAC’s blessing, adding to its FAA acceptance in 2020.

Company said fleet expansion at flight schools helped drive growth.

The update to the light jet includes a gross weight increase and extended range.

Garmin and Daher allowed for the retrofit to already-delivered 2019 and 2020 models upon the certification of Autoland last year.

The EASA-certified new model goes to a German customer.
