#Garmin designed its Emergency #Autoland system to be used in the event of #pilot incapacitation, but the pilots in the first real-world deployment of the system weren't incapacitated. For The Air Current, I dug into the certification of Autoland and the thorny problems associated with #autonomy and accountability in #aviation. No paywall on this one! https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/garmin-autoland-first-deployment-accountability-pilots-automation/

Garmin and the FAA expected Autoland would be used following pilot incapacitation, an assumption that was overturned in December. What happens now?
