Garmin Executive Vice President Phil Straub discussed the origins and functionality of Garmin's advanced aviation safety features, Autoland and Smart Glide.
Autoland, inspired by pilot incapacitation incidents, is an autonomous system designed to safely land an aircraft from nearly anywhere when the pilot is unresponsive, communicating with air traffic control and managing all landing procedures.
Smart Glide, conversely, assists a fully capable pilot and crew experiencing powerplant failure by helping them identify and navigate to a suitable and safe landing place.
This fireside chat recap is from FLYING’s “What’s Next in General Aviation” Virtual Event on Wednesday.
FIRESIDE CHAT TOPIC: Phil Straub talks about how Autoland, an award winning autonomous safety feature, came to fruition and how it differs from Smart Glide.
