Garmin reports that more than 2,500 aircraft are now equipped with its Autoland emergency landing system. Of the 15 aircraft models fitted with the feature, about 10% received it as a retrofit after delivery. Autoland, available on Garmin G1000 and G3000 flight decks, can automatically land a plane if the pilot is incapacitated, and adoption figures suggest growing acceptance of the technology among manufacturers and owners alike.

Why now: Garmin's announcement marks a milestone in mainstream adoption of automated emergency landing technology in general aviation.
