I was in the USAF back '63-'67, working on autopilot and compass systems on the biggest bombers and tankers. While there, we had a C-130 coming in and going out, doing autoland trials with their autopilot. It was flying out of Griffiss AFB, Rome NY, and coming up to our base, 187 miles NE of them. They were doing these trials for about a week, and we'd stop working on our B-47's and KC-135's to just watch them coming in and then going out and coming around again. (The C-130 autopilot at the time was the same as we had on our B-47's, which is what made it so interesting to us.) Each aircraft in these trials had a pilot, copilot, and systems engineer as their only crew members for these tests.

Nice video and demo of the new auto land system on the King Airs, Soon to be available on all Bonanzas. 👍😉

great stuff but what if there is an obstruction on the selected runway?

Really nice however the camera passenger had no seatbelt or safety harness on.

Safety regulations don't apply to AOPA. After all, they "teach" the impossible turn. What did you expect?

Incredible! Now the question is will it be affordable to the average GA pilot?

If you can afford a King Air it will be. 😁

Does the Garmin autland feature also communicate on UNICOM if it lands at an uncontrolled field or how does that work? Does it swap to UNICOM and just make these robotic announcements?

@flywithaopa 10 ай бұрын

At a non-towered airport it would broadcast the message on CTAF.

Need to release this to the experimental community via the G3X for a lot more real world testing. The biggest challenge will be adding an auto throttle servo, but that shouldn’t be too hard. I am assuming a GSA28 could handle that with appropriate linkage.

I think feature will sell like crazy if they release it for Bonanzas. The longest selling plane line. It will be fairly simply to do it for straight tail models if they can do it for a king air. If the price is about 30k, I think almost all owners with 3 axis auto pilot will get it.

@Arp1757 10 ай бұрын

Pretty cool. What happens after landing? I would expect it will at least rolloff the active onto a Taxiway, right? Or will it taxi all the way back to the apron? Will it shut down? I can just imagine a helpful and very relieved non-pilot passenger saying “I’ve got it from here” and rolling the thing right into a ditch.

It comes to a full stop on the runway and the engines shut off.

This was the first time I’ve seen GAL in a king air. Is there an official list of supported aircraft?

@flywithaopa 10 ай бұрын

It is currently available for the Piper M600 SLS, Daher TBM 940/960 and Cirrus Vision Jet. The King Air 200 and 300 are the first to have the system as an aftermarket retrofit.
