A series of aviation safety developments involve the certification of Garmin-based Autoland systems for single-engine turboprop aircraft.

On September 29, Pilatus announced that the Safety Autoland system for its PC-12 PRO received certification from the FAA and EASA. Integrated with the Garmin G3000 PRIME platform, the system is designed to manage emergencies such as pilot incapacitation by analyzing weather, fuel, and terrain to select and land at a suitable airport.

Following this, on September 30, Epic Aircraft received FAA certification for the Garmin Autoland system on its E1000 AX. This system allows passengers to trigger an autonomous landing via multiple buttons located throughout the cabin. The technology manages navigation, air traffic control communication, and engine shutdown to ensure a safe landing without pilot intervention.
