The FAA has certified a new automated safety feature for the HondaJet Elite II, making it the premier twin-engine light business jet to offer fully autonomous landing capabilities in the United States.
The Garmin-powered technology acts as a critical backup by assuming total command of the aircraft if the pilot becomes disabled. Whether triggered by a button or internal sensors, the software manages the entire emergency process—including contacting flight controllers, selecting an appropriate airfield, and performing the final touchdown—without any manual intervention. Emergency Autoland represents a major business aviation innovation for safety.
