It doesn’t count unless the pilots are in the back drinking a cocktail during the landing......:lol:
MTV
edge case....
who needs a flight instructor anymore... up next Garmin CFI, with NAG mode...."
So what can it do if you are not in the vicinity of an airport with ILS? Pilot is incapacitated, selected fuel tank is nearly exhausted, no airport with an ILS within range of remaining fuel, passenger pushes the button and the screen says "you are gonna die"?

N86250;758381 Can a guy expect to always be within range of an airfield that has a GPS approach with vertical guidance?[/QUOTE said:Not in a Cub.....
It's really the wrong forum to consider this tech to be used in "our" aircraft of choice. Currently setup for the G3000 panel I believe, and their current statement is "not-retrofittable".
Question to Garmin : "Assuming this only works with ILS approaches, what happens if the nearest with an approach is an hour away?"
Some engineer's response : "no need for an ILS as with LPV, the GPS guides the airplane laterally and vertically simulating an ILS approach"
Garmin's response : "Autoland leverages a wide variety of GPS approaches. The Aircraft will maintain its current route until a suitable airport is found. ^DK
Editors note : LPV = "Localizer performance with vertical guidance" (Using WAAS)
Not sure I agree, could be coming to a carbon cub near you. The button would be in the back....
